Now this is more like our son!!
Nurse Julie and Caden :-)Another win for Caden! He is officially back to himself (with the exceptions of a few major unconsoleable moments which they are still monitoring to make sure they don't overlook anything). However, I feel our boy is back!! The smiles, giggles, and coo's. I can't say we are in the clear quite yet, but I have a good feeling we are well on our way.
Today's pictures and video clip is of one of our favorite nurses- nurse JULIE. Julie has been with Caden through the good and bad and takes care of him like he is her own. We are so priveledged to have Julie, Shelly, Suzie, Melissa, and all the other great nurses. They are definitely TOP NOTCH! Thanks Ladies :-)
Love to you all -
Melissa

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! I'm loving it!!! Today was such a great day with Caden!!! It was so amazing to see him happy and smiling. I feel so blessed to have gotten to know Melissa and Caden, and even David ;-), along with all of your amazing family! You are such an extraordinary family! Everything happens for a reason... trust in God always! You have all come such a long way and are stronger than you'll ever know. I'm so happy to have gotten to know you and you will always be in my heart. :-)

Well Caden, you have yet another admirer. Kevilee loved watching your video! What is it with you and older women? Tell Lindsay and Nurse Julie they've got some competition.

What an amazing video- funny how sticking out your tongue and making farting noises can be so funny (to even a 34 year old). He is just a joy to look at. The nurses are truly amazing and it looks like Caden might have a little crush on Julie (probably b/c she is from/lives in Milwaukee). So happy to hear that his days are getting better and better-keep up the good work Caden!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Meg

ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhh....WHAT A CUTIEPIE!!! I love the smile! I was in a crabby mood until I logged on to the blog and saw that smile and read that Caden was doing better! That smile took all my troubles away! Thanks for sharing the video with us! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses to the little snugglebug...thanks for brightening my day!

OMG!! When I logged on this a.m. and the first thing I saw was the big smile, I just smiled right back. Thank you, God. Blessings to you all and prayers continue.
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT video clip! I'm so happy to see such a HUGE smile. I bet yours is just as big! Sorry I haven't been able to comment the last few days. I was out of town visiting family. I was able to keep up with your blog via my phone, but it wouldn't let me post any comments. Thanks for your voicemail as well! Just remember, sometimes the mom & dad need a bear hug just as much as the baby. I'm sure Caden is happy to share one with you. Take care!!!
ReplyDeleteso glad to see the smiles are back!!! I continue to think of you guys each and every day. I agree the nurses are the best at CHW!!! We will continue to keep you in our prayers.

As others have said, I did an audible gasp when I saw Caden't smiling face shining back at me from the computer! Hurray! So glad the good day trend continues!

Good morning Caden-
ReplyDeleteToday is Wednesday June 10th and what a great start to the morning it is! You know, they say a picture is worth a thousand words and your latest picture is worth a million! It is awesome to see a great big smile on that little round face of yours! I knew that you were going to find the strength and determination to get past this stage of your recovery as well! I am so proud of you and honored that I have been able to follow your progress every step of the way. I swear I can’t wait until the day that I can give you a big hug! What a great victory this is for you and your family!
Speaking of victories; history did not repeat itself last night, since the Pittsburgh Penguins were able to hold off a last minute flurry, form the Red Wings and they were able to hold onto a 2-1 victory. Which means that this series is all tied up, forcing a deciding game 7, which will be played in Detroit. The Penguins are going to have a tough time making history and winning the Stanley Cup! Home ice has been a very main factor in this series, considering the team playing at home has won in the last 6 games.
Have a wonderful day Caden
Yeah!!!! We were so happy to see Caden's smile as the first thing when we logged on! How awesome!! Keep going Caden!!!
ReplyDeleteWe cannot wait to meet Caden and love on him!!
High 5's all around!!!
You're always in our thoughts and prayers-

That is a million dollar smile Caden! May you continue to get your mother's good looks and your father's sense of humor. We miss you guys!
