Hi All,
Yesterday Caden's oxygen levels dropped dangerously low, so low that he turned blue, which of course had me in histerics and Wes just trying his best to calm me down. That was the deciding factor that lead dr. Vermaak to the decision that Caden is coming home with oxygen.
At about 11h00 I tried to wake him up to feed him, but he was fast asleep and wouldn't wake up to eat. At about 13h30 the nurses fed him through the tube and 15 minutes after that the first desaturation occured. He dropped to 33, the nurses flushed him with oxygen and then he went back up to 96 again. About 5 minutes after that he dropped again to about 50 and they phoned the doctor. They put his tubes back into his nose and left him on 30% oxygen, which seems to be all he needs. Apparently he vomited at around 17h00, and this seems to be the cause for his desaturation. He was just too full. But dr. Vermaak thinks it's best to send him home with oxygen and personally I think we would also be relieved. After seeing your child blue like that a person tends to become a bit neurotic, so it's best that we at least know he's getting enough oxygen.
Now we wait for the oxygen to arrive at the hospital, then we'll stay a night and go home the next day! Yay! Otherwise all is fine and Caden is looking pretty and pink (luckily not pretty in pink!).
Have a great weekend!
Lots of love
Elriza & Wes

Ek glo dit raak met tye baie moeilik vir julle en dit kan seker voel dat die krisistye nooit verby gaan nie.
Vasbyt julle drie - al is dit dan net aan suurstof!!
Lief julle baie,

Pleased to hear that Caden has his little pink cheeks back. Remember that the Lord is always with you. He will never forsake His children.
Caden, you gave your Mommy a big fright and I am sure that you will make up for it by giving her a big, toothless smile one of these days. Get those oxy levels sorted our there, Little Warrior, we are longing to see you in your own surroundings. Hold out your little hand to Lord Jesus and he will guide you every step of the way.
Love you three lots and lots
God Bless

Caden you little gem!
Don't worry about the hiccups lad (literal and figurative) - you're a champion and these little things are often sent to test our faith. No doubt we will all pass the test - we have up to now. Hang in there boy (and Daddy and Mommy) - you'll be home before you know it.
Love you Lots
