Still Defying The Odds

Kaden is holding on for dear life. They were finally able to turn his head to the right (a little) and move the oscillator to the right side as well. His neck muscles are very stiff from being to left for over 3 weeks. His oxygen saturation is fluctuating between 78-86. His echo also showed that the blood is getting to both sides of his heart which means the medicine is helping his pulmonary hypertension. We are very happy to still have our little warrior. One more day, thats all we can ask for. We are taking Kaden's Journey one day at a time. Kaden will be 1 month old in 6 days!!!! I cannot believe how much time has gone by. I love every day with my little hero. Kayleigh was in the Nicu waiting area today, and she cried when we left saying "I wanna see my baby brother mommy, I wanna see him" It was so hard to hold back the tears. I pray God allows the days to come when we can all be together at home.

Jamie,
I am so happy that Kaden is doing so well. The first thing I do is look for an update on Kaden and he is the last person I think about before I go to sleep. Kaden is my hero also! He amazes me daily. I think one day at a time is a good plan, I know it is not always easy to stay in the moment(trust me!).Stay strong there are so many people praying for your family.Please give Kaden a kiss for me, and one for his big sister!

I just found your blog through another CDH baby that I follow. I know exactly what you are feeling, our Elli lost her CDH battle after 20 days. Keep your heads up. We are praying that Kaden continues to defy the odds and proves to the doctors that he is such a strong fighter. We will also be praying for strenght for you and your husband.
