The progress continues

It is hard to believe it's only been eleven days since Kelson made his grand entrance. As I looked back on the pictures from the last week and a half, I was in awe of the progress he has made. We were originally told that the tubes in his chest and abdomen would remain in place for several weeks. Imagine our surprise when we learned that the abdominal tube was removed last night, and they are hoping to remove the left chest tube tomorrow! They also increased his feedings again to 3 mL per hour. He continues to amaze all of the staff here. All of the nurses are in love with him and fighting over who gets to take care of him. He is becoming quite the little stud muffin. Today I made another trip back home to get a few more things, and help guide the moving crew. After having our house on the market for over a year and a half, we had finally accepted an offer on March 15, and close on it May 15. Our goal was to be moved into a new house before we had Kelson, but obviously that didnt happen. Luckily, we are blessed with great friends. The Rademaker, and Todd families are coordinating our move for us. This weekend is packing, and next weekend is the move. Most everything will remain in storage until we close on our new house, so we will be "homeless" for about two weeks. However, after living out of a suitcase for the last week and a half, I'm pretty sure we can handle a few more. As Krista and I settle in for the night, we can't help but question how anyone could get through a situation like this without Faith, Family and Friends. These are truly the three most important things in life.
