A super fast update...

Kayden is still sleeping and I don't want him to wake up without me there, but had a huge change happen last night! I went back to my room where my mom was waiting for me, and Kayden started to wake up. The nurse had asked me to try some bubble therapy again before bed, so I asked Kayden if he wanted bubbles. We played over an hour with them, his oxygen was 100 % without the tubes, and he was laughing, smiling, and having fun. Okay, so he laughed twice (I'm sure it did not feel good), but smiled often, and took his fishy to fight off the Arrahhbite (dinosaur in Kayden terms) who kept trying to pop the bubbles! He sounded and played like my baby, but his eyes are so puffy. His playing was so encouraging. Mom and I both lost track of the time, and when I looked at the clock, it was 10:30! Kayden fell asleep soon after mom left, but we had a rough night of sleep. He usually sleeps on his back, so it took awhile with the epidural in to turn to his back, but he eventually made it!
Another positive note is that they are talking about taking out his nose tube today (it pulled a little out 2 times last night-ouch!).

Continue to pray for his swelling to go down, and for the little guy to fart(Mom, the surgeons said it, so so can I!)!!! Once he does he gets to eat! I hope he is able to play more today too!
