Kaden's Day

Well, we have had a great day. So far today, Kaden has kept his stats looking very good, and he is still peeing A LOT! We love it!!! The doctor says he is still peeing about 4 times of normal and that he must be trying to make up for lost time. I think it's all about the prayers that God has heard about making Kaden go pee so much. Plus, I think Kaden is trying to make the doctors go crazy. The doctors totally switch around their statements each day. It's unbelievable that yesterday they were saying that they were about at the end of what they could do to treat Kaden, then today they say...WOW, he's doing great compared to yesterday. The surgeon came in today to check on Kaden. He said that if Kaden continues to keep his stats up where they are today, and he continues to pee, they would look into doing his surgery on Monday. What a difference a day makes.


Grandma Mary, Grandma Debbie, and brother Logan came to see Kaden this afternoon. Logan got to finally go in and see Kaden today. He has not seen him since the day he was born. I think Logan did very well in the NICU. I held him up and he talked to his brother Kaden telling him that he loves him and to get better so that he can come home. It was a really good visit. Grandma Debbie will be leaving on Friday for a cruise to the Caribbean Islands that she has had planned for over a year now. I think it's a 10 day cruise and she is very worried about being away. I told her not to worry about anything and that by the time she got back from her cruise, Kaden would be just about recovered from his surgery. DON'T WORRY GRANDMA....HAVE FUN ON YOUR CRUISE. JUST CONTINUE TO THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS. GOD CAN STILL HEAR YOUR PRAYERS EVEN IF YOU ARE IN THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS:)





We were told today that we needed to be out of our room by tomorrow. They need the room for the weekend due to large amounts of people coming in for deliveries over the weekends. So, I booked us a room at the Carl Hotel which is the one we stayed at last weekend. It's within walking distance from UCSF (.4 miles). We still need to be close to Kaden. Yeah, he's having a good day today, but we all know how things can change from day to day. We are still spending pretty much all day everyday by his bedside, so we basically just need a place to shower and sleep. We have been here at the hospital now for 15 days now. It is so expensive here in San Francisco. I think we are averaging $50 a day for food (lunch/dinner only for Kristi and I). Now that we are being kicked out of the hospital, the hotel bills will start to add up. Carl Hotel gave us the discounted hosptial rate of $89.99 plus tax, so basically $100 a night. That will get very expensive over time.

I got a message from my job today telling me that they are going to get some kind of financial aid to assist us with the costs of being here at UCSF for such a long period of time. Anything will help, so I am really greatful they contacted me.

I'm going back in with Kaden now, so I will update again later. Just wanted to let everybody know that Kaden's day has continued to be good. I will post again later on tonight.

BELOW IS PROUD BIG BROTHER LOGAN. HE WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE KADEN TODAY.
