12/1/11

12/1/11

Thumbsucking, paci sucking, skin to skin/Kangaroo time-all in a weeks work.
This last week has flewn by and I'm sorry for my failure to update as often as in the past.

So he is up to 14in and weighs 1lbs 13oz. Cash has been doing pretty well, and his o2 levels are getting fine tuned, so that they can begin weening him off the ventilator. Hopefully when he hits 2 lbs they can get him on the cpap.

No new news on the brain bleeds just yet, but another test is scheduled on Dec 5.

He has had many visitors, including Pastor Webb who is with him right now. We are very lucky to have found our church and thank God for their support throughout this ordeal.

Cash likes to eat. He is up to 14cc's, which is quite an increase over the last 2 weeks. This is a great thing, since size will help him fight infection, grow his lungs and provide some more muscle and fat to keep his temp steady.

We are starting to develop relationships with some of the nurses, and even have a couple who are now assigned to him when they are working. This is nice, it helps us to communicate our needs as well as hear an accurate update when we call.

Kim has been doing great, slowly getting back to work, and still visiting Cash everyday. Savy is a busy bee with her church program rehearsals and songs, school and of course Girl Scouts. They are planning on going to see A Christmas Carol at Alley Theater and having a fancy dinner all dressed up. This sounds perfect, as I will be watching UFC. No need to rock the boat of normalcy around here.

Kims 36th b-day is on Dec 14th, and we got her all the necessaries for a scrap-book for Cash. She loved it. We gave it to her so she could start on it now. Christmas is next, then Savys 8th b-day 12/29. A busy month for sure. Our neighbor is taking us hunting and Savy is freakin' out of her mind excited. She loves to sit with me in the morning all quiet looking at nature. I'm thinking I'm going to "miss" if we see a deer, just so I don't have to clean and process anything. Just spending time with her will be good enough for me.

I'll try and get some more pics of Cash up here soon.

I must give a shout out to some more folks...thanks again everyone, yall are/have helped so much.
