Doing Better

Nate is doing much better! Dr. Carey called last night and said his chest x-ray looks good. They are still not completely clear, but his lungs have improved. He is on minimal oxygen now, usually just when he's in a deep sleep. He is in great spirits and happy as ever!

We got a new bi-pap machine and we are still adjusting to it. It has a heated humidifier built in and that seems to be helping his nose problems.

He had x-rays done of his legs Monday. The right leg is completely healed. The left leg is in the "healing process". It doesn't seem to be bothering him as much as it was in the hospital.

We are still keeping him "bedridden" until we are sure he is well and his legs are completely healed. He watches TV and movies; we read books; and he is able to use his slings and kick his legs to music. As long as he is feeling good, can breathe well and is not in any pain from his legs, he doesn't care what he's doing - he's happy and content just being comfortable and loved.

We are snowed in here. We didn't have nursing last night, today, and won't tonight or tomorrow either. That's okay though - Trey and I can handle it and we are enjoying some quality time alone with our little guy.

We hope Nate can resume school next week and maybe get back to his normal routine, and we can get him out of bed!

Thanks for your prayers....we know they helped Nate get over this illness and all the rough times he's had in the last month. We appreciate it!
