New Mommy, Casher and Nan

I always knew Kari would be a natural. This evening Kari, Nan, and I visited Casher during care time. Mom was there with me while I took Cash's temp, changed his diaper, and a few other things Kari and I get to do to feel like we are taking care of him. The doctors and nurses continue to be amazing, they are very reassuring, great communicators, and are extrememly personable and professional.

Casher's condition: He is progressing along just as the Doc's expect for a baby in his situation. We constantly thank God that Cash made it to full term, that makes everything he is
going through much much easier.
His pressure goes up then down, he gets dehydrated then he's got too much fluid, his temp is high then low. All the while his care team knows exactly what to do and aren't suprised by anything.
As you can see he is still incubated, the oxygen tube is necessary as the doctors choose to keep him paralyzed so his wound can heal. In the next day or two they will take him off that drug and he will wake up, be breathing on his own, moving kicking and crying. Once that happens his body will learn to operated with all the modifications. Once his digestive system starts working correctly he gets to start
eating breast milk, getting strong and healthy
and be able to come home with us. The doctors tell us it could be up to 4 weeks before he starts eating/digesting...but we have a feeling its gonna be much sooner than that.
You know what we know now...
here is our plea: we need all of you to pray for quick and complete healing for baby Cash. We trust God to take care of him and know He will, we just want everyone to be in allignment on what we are praying for.
Kari and I are doing well, enjoying this warm up period that most first time parents never get to enjoy. More soon... Mitch
