So we are being officially told that Caden is looking to go home on Tuesday. This probably means Wednesday, but we are holding out hope that Tuesday will be the day. Either way it should be before Christmas and that would be great! We would love to have our family together for the holidays, especially for the girls. I think it has been so hard for them to have not seen their brother since the day after he was born. They have excluded all visitors to the NICU besides parents because of the H1N1 virus. Chad and I have been the only visitors to see Caden for the past 5 weeks. I think he will be very happy to see three smiley faces when he gets home!!
We will be completely home bound for quite some time. With all of the viruses out their right now we definitely do not want a return visit to the hospital any time soon!!! Plus he will be hooked up to his feeding machine 24 hours a day until we can consolidate the feeds over a shorter time period. This is because he has had a lot of vomiting after eating and the doctors do not want him to lose weight.
Caden was really alert tonight when we were with him. It is so nice to see him with his eyes open. I think he will be so glad to break out of the hospital and be home with his family. We will be thrilled as well!!!

Hey Mary & Chad,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie he is!
Great to hear Caden will be home for Christmas!
I'm sure he will be the best present for all.
Thanks for the update & we all hope to see him when the time is right.
Y'all are in our prayers.

Hi Mary and Chad,
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent news and a huge step forward for everyone. Coming home before Christmas will make everyone's day complete. I think you must, after all, have an angel or two on your side upstairs. Caden's a very cute little guy - can't wait to visit and give him a hug. Love, Uncle Bob
