Mav finally lost some weight yesterday. His weight was 4.48kg. His bun and creatinine are still high, so they just have to try to carefully manage his losses while trying to give him the fluid he needs for circulation. He's still pretty puffy, but not quite as bad. He's very alert when he's awake and still likes his mobile and paci. He has a new rainforest aquarium toy that he also likes to watch. Poor little guy, I know he has to get tired of just laying around. I just can't wait to hold him. He still has two right atrial lines, two central lines, a right femoral arterial line and his left abdominal drain, along with his nasotracheal tube - so I suppose it will still be awhile before that happens.
I had a fun visit from my Shawnee friends Dianna, Dorraine, and Polly today. They got to see little Mav and then we went to lunch at Blue Mesa. We had a great time and laughed alot. Ask Dianna and Dorraine about their aliases next time you see them... Thanks to everyone who sent gifts, cards, and goodies - you all are so sweet and generous. My mom said I am so lucky to have such good friends and I know she's right. I miss all of you.
Greg and the kids are coming this weekend. It sounds like they've had a pretty good week. I can't wait to see them!
I'll try to post later today - jc

I just wanted to say thank you so much for continually posting updates and photos... sharing such an intimate time of your lives with us all... allowing us to be a part of your hopes and fears and to offer our prayers for your family through this difficult time. It is said that the true character of a person can be seen during times of trial and your family has shown such faith and courage. We love you all and continue to pray for your family's health... we pray that you can all be home together soon cuddled up enjoying each other the way it should be. We love you all so much.
