Fontan Day 7: June 6th 7:45 pm (Walking)

 Caden is still improving and getting stronger.  He still isn't keeping food down, and isn't taking in many liquids so we pray for more intake that stays in!  It took a good portion of the day to get him off all the sedation medications but by late afternoon he got up, and we went for 2 great walks to the playroom passing a few friends along the way including Nurse Shelly in the yellow who took care of Caden when he was a baby.

Gosh…..we love seeing him walk..  I especially love it with no tubes.  Boy, what a difference.  The first thing I noticed when he woke up from his tube removal was that he rolled onto his stomach/incision and he seemed to like it.  Ahhhhh………what a great sight.  Not sure how they don't find that uncomfortable but it sure was great to see him curled up in a ball, on his side, then rolling on the bed.  Magical!

Below is a little clip of todays walk.  We just pray for more strength, to eat and keep food down, and minimal chyllous that his body can process and eliminate by itself.

Have a great night everyone - Love Melissa and David
