Saturday

So, I'm sure there are quite a few of you who are wondering why we didn't update the blog yesterday.  That's because Little Buddy's aunt who has been keeping the blog ended up in the ER with a rupured appendix.  She is in a lot of pain and will be in the hospital for a few days on an intravense anitbiotic, but other than that she is okay.  When it rains, it pours.

As for Little Buddy, he is doing better all the time.  He lost three more tubes yesterday: both of his remaining chest tubes and his tube that was emptying out his stomach acids, etc.  Very good news!  He is mostly unresponsive, but we can tell by his eyes that he knows we are there and that he is listening to what we say.  He got a visit from his cousins last night and he loved every minute of it!  He is also starting to move his arms and head a little bit this morning.  Very encouraging signs!  So, things are still headed in the right direction, and we are optomistic about how everything is going.
