Casher is doing much better!

Since that chest tube has been pulled Casher seems to be feeling like a new little person! He is much more content and is smiling up a storm. He started eating from a bottle yesterday and is doing very well with it. We are just taking his feeds nice and slow to give his tummy a chance to adjust (after not eating for 10 days!!) It looks like he will most likely be out of the hospital on Tuesday! We are excited to get him home (home is currently Cheryl and Don's house in Lone Tree).

Our plan is to watch him closely and have some follow up doctors appointments in Denver. Then my mom (now known as "grandma"!!) will fly out from NC and fly back with me and Cash around the 11th of November. Of course, we want to make sure Cash is very stable before we travel with him. Mitch will drive the car and dogs with our brother in law Jeremy to NC around the same time. He has a job transfer with Starbucks and needs to start work on Nov. 16th. I have to say we are ready for some normalcy! For us that means a healthy little boy and being settled in NC. I myself am looking forward to a peaceful fall in NC with quiet holidays at home with our cutie pie. Thank you for your continued prayers. I am feeling so much more at peace. It really takes its toll having a little one that is so sick. Now that Cash is feeling better I can tell just how bad he was really doing and how hard that was on me as his mom. I am so grateful for his improvement and all of the love and support we have been getting from all of you. We will continue to keep you updated and post more photos. Love, Kari

  4. Hi to both of you,
    It's cousin Joy. I am so thankful to God that your little Cash is doing better! Mitch, spending extra time with your mom was sure a bonus for me! It was a difficult situation that brought her here, but it was sure good to see her.
    I just know that Cash will continue to improve with all the prayers coming his way.
    We love all three of you & keep you in our prayers daily.
    Joy & Jim

  6. So glad to hear you are finding some peace with the strides toward normalcy! What a relief that your plans are coming together at last. You two have managed to balance strength and love against your fears and moments of weakness so well. We aren't all there to see your every emotion, but overall it is obvious that your faith is nothing less than inspirational. Love, Shere
