Hi All,
Thank you so much for all the beautiful messages and comments, we really appreciate it.
Caden is doing very well. Weighing in at 2.06kg he is now sort of off the oxygen. They took off all his tubes so we could see his whole face (and he still looks like dad with a hint of me). They have a funnel-type of thing that lies next to him which they use to give him oxygen as soon as he desaturates, but he's doing well. He also discovered his voice and is crying now when he's hungry or unhappy with something. It's the cutest thing ever! The doctor said if Caden isn't off the oxygen he'll motivate so that we can take him home with oxygen no later than Monday or Tuesday. We'll just continue praying that he gets off the oxygen before that otherwise he'll have to be admitted again in a month's time. Please please please pray that our boy will be able to breathe on his own before Friday!
I also just want to say a very big THANK YOU to Melanie and Ludwig for buying us the breathing monitor. They phoned around everywhere to find out which is the best one and where we can get it and then they bought it as well. Words can't describe our gratitude! Thank you thank you thank you!
We also got some very good news today. They finally arrested the guy who stole Wesley's motortbike last year and conviscated his bike to give to us. They also found Wes's bike in some shop, in pieces! For those of you who don't know, the engineer from Honda stole the bike while it was in for a service, and the insurance refused to pay out, so we still had to pay it off. This is such a relief for us knowing that the scum-bag is finally caught and we can now take his bike to sell and pay off the debt.
All and all it's been a very good day with lots and lots of blessings coming our way. Now we just hope and pray that Caden will stay off his oxygen through the night. I'm at the hospital every day from 7h45 to 15h15 to feed him and he's drinking very well, but he likes to give the nurses the run around. It's feed on demand now and he usually likes to play at 14h00 instead of eating. It's very cute, he just lies there and looks around, but refuses to drink and so the nurses are at the edge of their seats waiting for him to start crying for food. It's very amusing!
Anyway, hope everybody had as great a day as we've had. Almost weekend!
Love
Elriza & Wes

granny01Dear Wes, Reezie and Caden,
My oh my but we are getting such a big boy. We will of course still continue to pray for our precious little one and we know that our great Lord and Master will never cease to be at Caden's side and He will continue to care and look after him. Keep that faith guys, our Lord has not failed you in the past and He will not fail you now. The Lord knows just how precious Caden is to all of us and He will continue to carry him in the palm of His hand.
Praise the Lord for the finalisation of Wes's bike. Reezie you are doing an absolutely awesome job with the feeding story and we admire you for your patience and love you have for the two men in your life. We love you girl and you are very special to us.
Lots of love to all three of you.
God Bless

What wonderful news little Caden! Keep growing stronger and stronger each day and drink all your milkies! Start laying off the Gin big guy - the best way to do it is to go Cold Turkey!!!
