Two weeks old

Yes, it is very hard to believe it's already been two weeks since we first met Kelson. It really still feels like a dream. I called to check on Kelson as soon as I woke up. We learned that he had kicked out his IV in his foot, and they had to move it to his scalp. We knew this would be a possibility, because it is one if the best places to for it, but it is a little tough to look at. We had a little hands on time today, and took his two week picture with the birthday bear.

Kelson had a pretty restful day, and we had a nice visit with Barb Monk. About 4 PM, Kelson had a "spell". We had seen him about 10 minutes earlier and he was fine, but when Kirk and I went back, he had a team working on him. Apparently, there was free-air in the lining of his right lung, and was restricting his breathing. The Nurse Practitioner thinks it was due to the new ventilator, so she is switching him to a "Jet" ventilator. We had planned to leave a bit early tonight to go to an appointment, and the staff assured us it was ok to leave, and there was nothing to be concerned with. We hate leaving him, but know he is excellent hands.

We are spending the last night in our house with Claire. On Saturday the trailers and moving crew are coming to load everything. We will likely be staying in Leroy with Kristas parents for the next few weeks. Hopefully we will be in our new house soon, and be able to get it ready for Kelsons homecoming!
