 Haden Update
Thank you for your continued prayers and concern. Went to visit Haden last night. I told Haden about your prayers and he smiled and said
THANK YOU! He has been moved from Pediatric ICU to a regular room. His condition is improving - thanks in huge part to prayer warriors from YT. He is misrable, to say the least. Doctors are forbidding him from eating or drinking so he is hungry and thirsty Bless his heart, he can't even suck on ice cubes. He was chewing gum last night, but whether with his nurse's permission, but whether he is allowed to continue chewing gum will depend on his doctor's visit today. He is being fed by IV nutrients directly into his blood system so that it completely bypasses his entire gastric system. He has a tube running through his nose and down this throat - if I'm not mistaken it is to remove anything so that nothing passes by the tear in his small intestine. The tube makes his throat hurt.
He is still scheduled for another CAT-Scan on Monday and if there is no leakage they will start introducing foods very slowly. Starting with sips of clear liquids and if all goes well they will progress from there as his system can tolerate it. As it looks right now, Haden may be released towards the middle to the end of next week.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS. |
