More lines gone

Happy Hump Day everyone! Caelen is continuing to progress a little more each day. Today he got his IJ line (big central catheter) out of his neck and tomorrow he is going to get his art line (arterial access for blood draws, pressures) out. He ate 6 bites of applesauce for me twice today and went for a bigger walk and longer wagon ride to the play room. He is still draining, but it seems like each day it slows a little more.

Last night during bath we took off his oxygen/nitric/hi flow cannula and he has maintained his sats since. It's so nice to see his little face without he oxygen. We're hoping that he will continue to maintain this :)

So we're happy with the progress and its still only 1:30.

Thanks again for all the wonderful messages, comments and likes, support and prayers. Caelen truly is a miracle and the best blessing I have ever received.

Love,
Katye

  2. Glad that he is showing a bit progress! Slow and steady. Prayers continue for him (and you) - two of my prayer groups, and several other prayer warriors have added his name to their lists. (I don't know you - learned about you through Aaron and Alex Miller). Contineu praying and believing. M.

  3. So, so, happy!!! Every night before bed Maren says two prayers-- one for Grandpa Bill (just had knee surgery and doing great) and one for Caelen's heart. By the way-- I almost cried when I read your post about Caelen laughing. It's the best feeling in the world to have their little personalities back! Still praying!
