PRAISES!!

Today was so much better than Saturday. Thank you for your prayers.  The rib drain was removed this morning. Although painful, Carson tolerated this well and his breathing is much less painful. Liz said he is really only grimacing with coughing and normal breathing is going well. Carson got out of bed quite a bit today considering he is only two days out from a major surgery. He took several laps in the hallway. Carson and Kellen got to play with stickers, ipads, and movies together which was such a blessing to have them playing and interacting with each other. Carson ATE a few bites of chocolate pudding at his request and took a few sips of water. He was able to sleep during his nap time and turned himself side to side without too much pain. Many praises throughout the day!

He still is having significant pain in his neck especially in the front, but the doctors feel this is normal at this point. Tomorrow, he will have his drain taken out of his neck and the ties on his trach changed. We are praying for the least amount of pain possible with this. All in all, they are doing well and in a much better place than the day before.

Please continue with the previous prayer requests and also pray for little pain with drain removal tomorrow and safe travels for some of the family that will be returning from Cincinnati tomorrow. Thank you, thank you!
