Caelen laughed!!!!

The day was pretty much the same until the afternoon. Caelen got out of bed again and walked twice, back and forth to the couch to sit with Mimi and watch a movie. After that he really started to kind of "wake up." He started talking more and using his arms and stomach muscles more to sit up.

Then we had a visit from one of our new heart friends, Aaron Miller (macsenthegrayt.blogspot.com) and he was telling us a story from earlier today about how his 6 yr old daughter accidentally got hand sanitizer in her eye. Next thing you know, Caelen is laughing!!! And he kept laughing, so we started laughing, and jumping for joy. Caelen is back!! We are all so excited I was grabbing staff from the halls :)

He's also becoming more ornery when the nurses mess with him. So again, more signs that Caelen is back :)

Thank you all for your prayers. They are working. There's still a lot of work to do with those damn effusions though, so please keep praying.

Also, I mentioned our friend Aaron earlier. He has a beautiful wife named Alex, 2 adorable little girls named Carys and Kismet, and their newest addition, Macsen. He was born here 2 weeks ago yesterday, had his open heart surgery last week and they are scheduled for discharge home tomorrow! Way to go Macsen. They are such a wonderful family and I feel very blessed to have met them in our short time here. Macsen will still need 2 more surgeries, like Caelen, so please add their wonderful family to your prayer list.

Thank you to all of our prayer warriors and angels.

Love,
Katye
