Resting Day

It was a quiet morning, especially since Claire had spent the night at my moms, and was not around this morning. Krista and I got up early, in order to catch a morning church service. We learned that the United Methodist Church in Mansfield met at 8 AM, and was on our way to the hospital, so we joined them for worship. They have had Kelson on their prayer list, and had brought Kelsons prayer cap. It was a very nice service, and got us recharged for the week.

Kelson was having a good morning. He had very little drainage from the chest tube overnight, and seemed pretty comfortable. Around noon it was bath time. Kelson really enjoyed the warm water on his skin, and having his hair washed.

We took a break this afternoon and spent some time with Claire at the mall. When we went back to the hospital, Kelson was sleeping soundly. He was "snug as a bug in a rug" according to Claire.

After several big days of changes, today was just a resting day. As we watch Kelson sleep he looks so peaceful and perfect. It is hard to believe what he has overcome, and the obstacles he has to face in the months ahead.
