Casher is definitely a little trooper. He hasn't eaten, he keeps having to have a tube put back down his throat (since he has a tendancy to pull it out), and he's poked and prodded everyday. But he remains sweet and calm through it all - with just a little crying and fussing. Right now the stuff his stomach can't process is being sucked out of the tube and the next step is to have it removed by gravity. After that is successful and works for 2-3 days, they will finally be able to begin bottle feeding him. That will be a slow process. So we are looking at a few more weeks in the NICU. It's tough but we hope things will significantly improve once he starts eating. We know we will feel better knowing he isn't hungry anymore! Well, here are some photos from today. Casher pulled out his tube so we got to sit with him for a while with it out. It's so nice to see his entire face. He has a very expressive mouth and it curls up at the corners in a sweet smile every once in a while. He is our beautiful boy...love, Kari
That picture is SO cute with his little hand under his chin! It must be hard to leave the hospital having such a handsome boy as he! But we know God is taking care of him and full recovery is right around the corner! AND when he does gets home we might not get so many updates ;)
ReplyDeleteLove you all from WI
That is definitely my nephew! He is so cute and adorable and all those words that mean essentially the same thing. I love you Casher so much and so does your Uncle Jeremy. We were just looking at your pictures together. Kiss our little prince for us! Love love love, Aunt Kate the Great (as Cash will no doubt think of me!) :)

ReplyDeleteIt is always worse on the parents. Luckily he will only remember your love and caring and not the medical stuff! He is just adorable. I am so happy for you guys! And still praying.
ReplyDeleteCasher is just adorable with his little outfit and handsome daddy. We are excited for the Swann grandparents to meet him in person. We are missing him here in Pueblo, but will visit soon. Keep on truckin' little man. The tube will be gone soon. Love, Nan and Grandfather
