Jayden's Journey Day Five

Today was a very big day for Jayden. They have began weening off all of the all the blood pressure medicine and are planning on taking out some of the neck lines. Today was a great day simply because he is starting to look like Jayden again! He's starting to smile and make faces which has been so refreshing to see. We are so thankful for God hearing and answering our prayers. He is looking and doing great and the Dr's. are thinking that he should be out of here possibly Wednesday or Thursday this week! His blood pressures have leveled off and are normal, and his oxygen saturations are perfect no more oxygen shooting in his nose. We feel that he is doing incredible and hope and pray that he isn't here much longer. He has been put on a medicine to help him with some of the gas issues that he is having because he is having a little bit of a difficult time pooping. After they gave him that, things started to get a little crazy as we changed his diapers 3 times in a row in a matter of 1 minute.

I know that God has us down here at Children's Hospital for a reason. We have met some incredible people who are facing very difficult situations with their children. I believe that God is going to do some incredible things in this hospital. I believe children will be healed completely, cured from disease and families restored. God has given us some incredible opportunities to be a light to people who are facing some of the most difficult situations of their life. God is GREAT and we continue to trust in Him and both Rachel and I believe that God is being glorified right here in Minneapolis at Children's Hospital. Once again, thank you for all of your prayers, cards and messages through this process. Words can't express how they have kept us encouraged and strengthened us through the days.
