Caden had to go back to the doctor on Thursday evening. He was having some trouble breathing, and his congestion was not improving. The after hours doctor we saw was not our regular guy, but he was cool. He listened to Caden's breathing and he heard some weezing in his lungs. Some mucus was becoming lodged in his bronchial thingys, and this is not a good thing. It's called bronchialitis(not to be confused with bronchitis), and the doc hooked him up to a nebulizer to help break up the mucus build-up. Well, it didn't really help, but he sent us home and told us to monitor his breathing and call if the weezing got any worse. It didn't, and Caden has been sleeping much more than normal for the last 48 hours as his little body continues to recover (which also gives Mommy and Daddy more time to recover!).
He should be fine by Monday or Tuesday, but the cough could still linger for a couple more weeks. We are looking forward to having our little boy back to normal. This process has been tough, but we have learned alot and we thank God for the learning experience and the many ways in which He helped us through it. Hey, if nothing else, we at least earned our first parenting merit badge. Thanks for your prayers! The pics will return soon!

I will pray for Caden too. So sorry to hear he's sick. It's been good to keep up with y'all via the blogs. Wish it could be more personal - but with the pace of all our lives, thank God we at least have this!
Life is good here in MI. The job keeps me busier than I even know how to deal with sometimes, but I also have an amazing man in my life (Nathan) whose support is truly a picture of God's unfailing love and grace and my friends here at the college are pretty great at keeping me balanced!
Love you all and hope the next news is that Caden is better :-) OH...I got the announcement of his birth in the mail and it was so beautiful! Here's my new address though: 323 N Helen Ave, Rochester, MI 48307
