An update from mommy

Trever has done a great job updating but he is taking a break from it tonight. Plus, we have access to a real computer with a keyboard tonight so we don't have to update on a phone or the ipad. So, I'll see if I can keep up with Trever's excellent writing skills.

Last night we spent our last night at our Chatsworth home. It is full of boxes with just a few things left to pack up. Claire gets a bit out of sorts when she is there since much of her stuff is already packed up.

It was a challenge getting out of the house this morning but once we did we dropped Claire off with Mary and headed to Champaign. We weren't really sure what we would find since they changed his vent last night after we had left. They did call us to update us over night but it's not the same as being there to experience it with Kelson.

Kelson seems to be a little iritated with the new ventilator. His pulse ox fluctuates a lot from high to low within a short amount of time which causes the machines to beep. They've been keeping him pretty well sedated so that he doesn't fight the ventilator and get agitated. They did mention shutting off the suction on his last chest tube tomorrow and hopefully taking it out within the next day or two. Once that chest tube is out we'll get to HOLD HIM!

We had visits from Kelson's Great Aunt Carol and Great Uncle Rog today as well as Sharon Monroe, Grandma, Gammy & Papa.

Trever took off around 2 today to head to our new house for the home inspection. Luckily everything looked good and Trever got to spend some time relaxing this afternoon. Mom and I spent some more time with Kelson and then picked up pizza for dinner. We're making ourselves home at mom & dad's for a while since it's not "too" far from Champaign.

All in all, it was a pretty uneventful day. Things have been moving pretty fast so we were due for a slow down. He's just hanging out looking handsome!
