Caiden Recovery Update


We had a late night visit with Caiden last night.  He was in and out of sleep.  I tried to give him a bottle when he was awake, but he wasnt' interested.  I kept winding up his teddy bear that used to be his daddy's and laid it by his head so that maybe he could hear it.

Caiden is pinker again since his transfusion.  His nurse told us something interesting about how they get their blood donations.  The UCLA staff can earn vacation time by donating blood!  After they earn all the vacation time they can, they can earn points and can use the points for things like a big screen TV!  What do you want to bet that Caiden's blood transfusion came from a UCLA employee!  Very smart.  I think more companies should adopt this program.

Caiden's surgeon came to see him this morning.  Although he is pleased with his progress, he is going to keep him in ICU for another day and leave the drain in his head as it is still draining some.  So Caiden will not be going home tomorrow.  We are kind of in limbo now not knowing if we are staying down here or driving home.  We are supposed to check out tomorrow.
