Tomorrow is the big day! All settings are at the minimum, and Kayden has been doing great with them all day today. Tonight they will cut his current sedation medication in half and replace it with another one that will stop immediately when they stop it. He also has gotten some steroids for his lungs just in preparation. They took some more blood work to double check things and his red blood cells are low so he will get a small transfusion tonight (1 of 3 total since we have been here). It sounds scary but he does great with it and it helps him quite a lot and actually will give him an extra little boost for tomorrow. I can tell Kayden is ready for tomorrow, 'cause he was smiling at Ben and me this morning :) *heart swelling* I feel like I'm starting to get my baby back! 1:00, 12/10/12 we are ready to take you on!
Elf alert for the day: Agent Pants was found this morning eating Max's yogurt! Naughty little thing, I wonder where he gets these ideas! :)
I've ordered a BBQ chicken melt & a vanilla milkshake from Friendly's for dinner tonight... I'm going to sit back, watch TLC and enjoy my little buddy. Tommorrow I may not be eating at all since my arms will be full and busy holding my baby :) CaNNoT WAIT!!
*Last little side note - as I was wrapping up my blog tonight, Kayden's Grammy P. informed me that 60 minutes has a special about turtles on tonight:) Pefection <3
Love, love, love...
Melissa & Kayden
Will be thinking of you through the night and into tomorrow until the hour strikes that will allow Kayden to be in your arms once again. You are such an amazingly strong woman, Melissa. You have endured so much and fought so hard for Kayden. You are truly one of the strongest people I know. Anxiously awaiting Kayden's introduction to Agent Pants. Lots of positive thoughts being sent your way and lots of hugs too. Love, Carolyn
