Fundraiser/Check-Up

I'm not sure how the Snapper Jack's fundraiser went.  Jennifer, Julie and I went for lunch and saw a few other people that we knew, and then Eddie, Caiden's great-grandma, and nurse Susan & I went back for dinner when most of the people could go, and saw a few other people who we knew.  But our easy going Caiden wasn't "feeling" the fundraiser so we shoved down our food and took him back home.  We did see several fundraiser flyers on the counter when we ordered our food so it looked like we were having a good turn out.  I guess well be surprised when we get the check in a couple of weeks.  You can let us know on Facebook if you went.

We took Caiden for an O2 check yesterday.  He had been running a low grade fever which could be teething, but his O2 was low.  It was 87% and went down to 78% so the doctor gave him another breathing treatment and it went up to 95%.  The Dr. said he just hasn't been able to get his O2 levels back up since his surgery so he is going to refer him to a lung specialist.  He also gave him another RX for his lungs.  Caiden likes his Dr.  His Dr. is always so surprised at how happy, and silly, and active that he is, even right after his surgery.  That's because he is the most loved boy in the world! 

Sitting up, which is hard for Caiden, is better for his O2 levels so we went and bought him a highchair so he can sit in it and the Dr. said he can have dry Cheerios!  They are good for finger dexterity as well as eating.  He will also be able to finger paint with his pureed food, and hopefully decide he might like to eat some from his fingers.

Specific prayers for Caiden:  His O2 levels up, strength in his trunk, and that he will try the food and decide he likes it!
