Kaden holding his own

Pictues above is Kaden's prayer bear. Prayer bear is wearing The Lords Prayer cross that was sent to Kaden by Papa and Nahnee.

Not a whole lot of change with Kaden. He has now been off ECMO for over 24 hours and is doing well. His O2 stats have been hovering around the mid 80's all day long. He is still pooping good, (averages a poop or two a day) which is good! That means that his insides are working well even though they are mostly up in the left side of his chest. Kaden is still pretty swollen. He is not peeing a lot like we need him to. It's not out of the ordinary for babies coming off ECMO not to pee a whole lot after the big change to their bodies. The nurses and doctors said that they are pretty much in shock for a day or two after coming off ECMO. I'm just really glad that he is doing well for his stats. Kaden has had a few small pee's today, but not quite enough to make us more comfortable. I am confident that he will start peeing a whole lot more tomorrow. We spent the whole day with Kaden by his bedside until dinner. Grandma Mary, Jacqeline, sister Jessica, and Gabby (Jacqeline's daughter) came to visit. We all went to dinner and then, they came see Kaden. Everybody was very happy to see Kaden. They all said that he looks really good. Even Jessica was able to come in and see her baby brother. Jessica did a lot better today coming in to see Kaden. Kristi and I were both very happy she came in to see Kaden. She even touched his little foot. Overall, a pretty good day. Not much more to report. Keep the prayers coming, because they are working. Once again, Kristi and I thank everybody for their support. We are still in the hospital. Our social worker said that she would keep us in the hospital until Kaden get's more stable. Will update again tomorrow.....hopefully with more good news:)
