Happy Easter Everyone!
Just a quick update as it is late and I am tired. Be advised that the updates may not be coming daily anymore. We know that there are daily readers (which we appreciate) however sometimes we run out of time and would rather lay down and sleep than provide an update when there is really not much to report.... Like today. Please understand that we will try and post updates daily however if there is not one, everything is going just about the same as the last update. We wanted to let you know this so you don't assume something is wrong when you don't see an update.
Today Caden did just okay. He is taking more and more orally every feed unfortunately he threw up a couple of his feeds today. At his 9PM feeding he officially initiated me (David) by throwing up all over me. I really thought I had the burp cloth strategically placed however Caden Marshall found the one opening and let me have it. He seemed to smile afterward like he knew what he was doing. I tried not to move him much in the hopes he wont get sick but maybe he was just excited when the Cubs took the lead over the Brewers for the final time tonight!
Melissa and I would like to wish each of you and your families a Happy Easter. This is a great time to reflect on how God has blessed us with Caden and his successes so far. We know the hand of God has got us this far and we pray for Him to look over Caden Marshall so that he can grow up and be a kid and then a man. Melissa and I are also blessed by Him in the form of the people He has put into our lives that continue to pray and show their support for the Smith family. Thank you for everything and have a great Easter with your families.
David and Melissa
