The long road to recovery

Here's our big boy, waiting so patiently in his recliner with the remote. Note the cute salmon colored hospital outfit he is sporting, also about 3 times to big. He did pretty well considering he hadn 't eaten in 7 hours. Our favorite part of the morning was when we were in the waiting room with him and animal planet was on the tv. He stopped to watch it and said wfff, wfff and we noticed a dog was on the tv. Such a smart little boy, and now with a complete palate, he will be able to pronounce woof, woof.


This is the first shot of him with Kelly after the surgery. It was very sad. He moaned and groaned for a while, but was consoled after being in mommy's arms. It's hard to tell much was done, except for the little bit of blood on the side of his mouth.


Kai spent most of the day in and out of sleep, from a long day of surgery and from the pain medication. His body also decided to spring a fever on him, which didn't help things. We were blessed to have great nurses that stayed on top of his pain medications and fever.


Life is always better with a mommy to snuggle. Kelly decided she could fit in Kai's hospital crib so that hopefully both could get some sleep tonight. Macy and Makenna also came up to see their little brother and offer lots of love and kisses. Thank you all for your prayers today and for those to come for his recovery. It will be a challenging time for our family, but we know God is faithful to provide all that we need.
