June 12, 2009 - Just another day...

PIC line in his arm is out! Ouch.
Nurse Suzie and Shelly....

Jackie from PT

Hi everyone. Caden has had another good day. Our typical days usually consist of listening to rounds (where the doctor's all meet to discuss the progress and make decisions on medical care), having PT (Jenni or Jackie) come to work with Caden on muscle groups that become stiff from being sedated in bed from surgery, and sometimes Leah (our social worker) and Angi (or speech therapist) will also swing by the room to check on our boy. Today everyone stopped by. It is so amazing how this team of medical staff work so great together and to see it in action is excellent. So, the morning started off with nurse Shelly removing Caden's PIC line in his arm (he didn't enjoy that....), and the afternoon consisted of working with the various medical staff mentioned above, and this evening Caden has enjoyed spending time with David. At this time we are just working on his feeding, and watching some elevated resting heart rates.

Thanks again for your love and prayers.

Love- Melissa and David

  5. Hello Caden-
    Today is Saturday June 13th and it is a cold, gloomy, rainy day. Ouch! That kind of looked like it hurt a bit. But I know that a little warrior can handle that silly PICC line getting pulled out. Besides, you didn't want to keep having that in your arm anyway...right?
    Well the Pittsburgh Penguins have overcome all of the odds and have won the Stanley Cup. Their persistence sort of reminds me of how persistent and determined you seem to be to recover and get back "H".
    The Penguins are the first team since the 2004 Tampa Bay Lightning to win the Cup after trailing the series 3-2. They are also the first team to win Game 7 on the road after the home team had won the first six games, since the 1971 Montreal Canadiens.
    The Penguins are also the first team to win a road Game 7 in all of Hockey. Actually this feat has only been done once before, in all of Sports, when the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Baltimore Orioles in game 7 of the World Series, back in 1979.
    Yesterday’s amazing victory also marks the fourth time in sports history that a city has won the Stanley Cup after winning the NFL title (Detroit did it in 1953-54, and again in 1935-36, Chicago also achieved this goal back in 1933-34).
    Have a wonderful day Caden
