Update

Just a little update for everyone...
Surgery went well yesterday and Brian is driving us down to Charleston tomorrow to drop me off with Kaden. Gran is doing very well with him, but I just can't stand not being there with him any longer, so I will take advantage of the help at the hospital while I recover. He had a rough morning today. For some reason still unknown, Kaden's blood sugar dropped down to 37. The staff gave him some apple juice to bring up his sugar and it caused his sugar to jump over 130. Due to the unsteady blood sugar, the team decided to put him on an I.V. solution that will help keep his blood sugar pretty steady. After a lot of hard work on everyones part, he was able to move the impaction. Now that he's all cleaned out, the team is going to see if he can maintain his fluid and calorie intake with food and drink alone. We all know this will be a challenge....we shall see what happens. Take care. I'll try to update tomorrow.

Love, Julie
