Back in the Hospital.

Hey all its papa Mitch with the long awaited update. Since Casher has been home we have had less and less time to update the blog-imagine that! Well, up until Sunday Casher was doing really well, typical baby day to day life with a few extra things here and there of course. However on Sunday while we were visiting my family in Pueblo Casher had to go to the E.R. because he was having trouble breathing, after an ambulance ride and a bunch of tests the discovered his left lung was collapsed and full of fluid. They were amazing in Pueblo, took great care of us, got him stable and on an air transport back to Pres. St. Luke's Hospital in Denver. He was then admitted to the PICU where they continued to keep him comfortable, and continued draining his lung.

He now has his own great big beautiful room in the Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children and Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital. Room 4304.

Casher is doing OK. No one knows why this fluid is in his lung, but the suspicion is he has a small puncture in his lung and they are hoping it will slowly heal itself. Kari and I are pretty tired yet remain at peace knowing God will carry us through this.

This looks to be the toughest challenge yet since he has his own room and though the nursing staff is great they can only give him limited attention. We are trying to have someone with Casher at the hospital at all times. Kari can only do so much and I am still working a ton. Please be praying for our family, its a daunting task trying to make sure someone is always with our little man.

As usual thank you in advance for your prayer, consideration and positive energy. We love you all and can't wait for you to meet little Cash man. Love Mitch Kari and Casher
