Hi friends! Don't be mad that I am posting so late, I have good reason. Kayden has been awake for quite awhile tonight, and I have been soaking up every minute of it :) I haven't seen him awake and alert in 7 days... and so of course I captured the occasion... so here is my precious little love :)
He has some intense and terrifying "episodes" still, but as you can see he is feeling better and in fact, even a bit pissed off by his little tape mustache. I keep telling him, it IS movember after all :) haha
Today Max had a good day too. He had school this morning, and then we went to see our friends at mommy's work. They were doing some festive things and he got to help out :)
I worked tonight, which was nice. It put me in a little bit of the Christmas mood, but of course I was feeling like I should be somewhere else instead. Both yesterday and today I spent the day with Maxon. It's usually my day at home with the boys, and since Max really doesn't enjoy hanging out at the hospital all day I just can't force it anymore. So needless to say, I was really missing Kayden.
Have any of you heard of the Elf on the shelf? I'm sure you must have... I found this picture today on someone's Facebook page, and had to steal it. Baaaahahaaha, this little "elf on the shelf" kit is $30, and this would make it worth every penny!
So, a busy but nice day we had today. Still trooping along, but feeling so much more peaceful with things. It all seems to be a little less overwhelming tonight. Of course this is due to all of you, who pray and think of Kayden and our family. We have had some amazing people helping
us along this week and keeping our sanity. We thank you for every prayer, visit, thought, email, comment, and gift. We truly wouldn't be capable of surviving this alone!
Welp, I'm exhausted. I've spent the night making more friends on the nursing staff :) The nurses are amazing here.. they even take your Starbucks order in advance for tomorrow night :)
Like I keep saying, it's the little things <3
With much love,
*Melissa and Kayden*

I love how awake he is!! It's so great that you are on the upswing of this. He is quite the little trooper :)

I am so happy to see him awake and alert for you. Joe was in the hospital for 5 months,3 of which he was at Boston where we could only see him every couple of days because of work and I had the other 2 at home. I am so glad he gets to see his family every day and to feel their love. He is one tough little guy and I have to tell you it was really hard to see him intubated because it brought back some memories I kind of stored away. Especially that little tongue sticking out. Joe came home on Dec 18, 2009 and that was one of the best Christmas presents we ever got. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
