Hello all. David here on Wednesday night in snowy Cary, IL. I know it has been a short while since we last posted. More time in-between posts means that everything with Caden Marshall is going well and this post is no exception.
Caden Marshall continues to do well. He has been fighting a cold over this last week. He has had a nasty cough and a slight temperature but nothing that warranted a trip to the hospital. Our concern reached its highest level, along with his temperature (100) on Saturday so we called our pediatrician as well as CHW to talk to the cardiologist on call. Both doctors told us to keep an eye on the temperature and give him some Tylenol. Through our journey with Caden, Melissa and I always associated a fever with an infection. The cardiologist assured us that there is minimal risk of the temperature being brought on by an infection with his current construct which made us feel much better. At the time of this posting Caden Marshall has not had a temperature for the past two days yet he is hanging onto a bit of a cough but that should clear up soon.
Hopefully you noticed the picture above. My buddy Bobby and his family came up for a visit a couple of Saturdays ago. Bobby is my one of my best friends and of all my friends I have known him the longest (since we were 10 years old). Bobby came up to Cary with his wife Carol and children Jamie and Tyler to meet Caden for the first time. It was fun to just sit around and talk and then we went out to Nick’s for some pizza and peanut tossing. Bobby’s kids are awesome and it was funny to talk about how Jamie was successful in achieving her drivers’ license while my son is not even a year yet. It is funny how life works out sometimes… Thanks for coming up you guys, it meant a lot to us. Oh yea, thanks for hooking our Wii up to the internet as wellJ.
We hope you all have a great Valentines Day. That is of course if you honor the hallmark created holiday.
Much love and hugs from the Smiths
