A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN

This is Jeanine writing this time. I was able to get to a computer and read all of the amazing comments from everyone. I am so touched by the compassion and love everyone has for us. Through reading your words, I am strengthened a little more and am able to cry more because of joy than sorrow. Spencer is going to post pictures today, we promise. It is a little difficult to do it from the hospital, but check for pictures by tonight. Kaden is doing well today. He has started tube feedings. At first they went well, but are not going as well now, though they will continue to try. The director of the NICU talked to us again today. His name is Dr. Null. He is an amazing man. Everytime I see him he gives me a big hug. When he talks to us about Kaden, he gets emotional right along with us because he to loves Kaden and can feel his spirit. The nurse practioner who is over him spends her extra time next to his bed holding his hand and stroking his head. He is truely touching many lives. Dr. Null told us today that he thinks we will be able to take Kaden home for a little while before he passes away. He feels he is pretty stong and might make it at home for a little while. We originally were going to take him off supports Thursday or Friday, but now are going to wait until Dr. Null feels is the best time. It could still be as early as Thursday, but could also be a few days after that. They just need him to be tolerating his feeds before we can take him. There is still a good chance he will pass away in the NICU and we are prepared for that, but wouldn't it be great if we could take him home and let our kids be with him for a just few days. I am touched and strengthed every minute by everyone. Kaden is so beautiful and it hurts so hard that soon all of this has to end, but he will be a great guardian and leader to our family. Thank you for all of your faith, it helps when everyone feels and believes as we do that we will get to munch on this little man again. We love you all!!!
