Good morning all! I would love to tell you that Landen has made amazing progress over the last couple days but frankly that just isn't the case. We expect a slow transition however he seams to take one step forward and another back and the reality is that he has not had significant progress since Friday. Ashley and I continue to be thankful for the staff here and we know that the Great Physician is in control, yet we hope for progress soon. There is some talk of a possible infection but his signs and symptoms are not clear on that.
For now we continue to wait....and wait....and wait. Tomorrow all of the A-Team will be in and we can go from there. Dr Kaza, Sarah and Dr T will all have an opinion I am sure and I for one can't wait to hear what that is. My hope is that he only has an infection and that the meds they put him on tonight take that away so he can get out of this funk and continue to recover. Only time will tell.
On a much brighter note, I had the most amazing gift given to me! Last night I was able to sleep in my own bed for the first time since he was born almost three weeks ago. And to top it off I had a great day playing on the lake with family. This was possible because our amazing family came together to allow me to have that luxury. I so needed the break, but coming back here tonight to see my son seamingly in the same place I left him if not worse is hard to take. I don't feel guilty for the time as I need to take care of myself, but I do ache for the day that Landen is home with our family. For that reason the likelihood of me not being here at night till they day we carry him out is slim to none.
Please pray that he has a faster recovery. That his heart is balanced and all the complications of surgery and being sedated go away. I know his situation is complicated, so if Gods answer is wait, pray that our family can continue to support each other without becoming to tired.
Before I go, I need to once again say a huge thank you to friends and family who have stepped up for us over the last couple weeks! We cannot do this without you. But I say a very special thank you to Skip, Lori, Kristen and Jeff (our parents) for literally becoming extended parents to our girls. Ashley and I have been, and continue to be stretched between two physical and emotional places and you have made sure that the impact of that is minimized with our girls. THANK YOU!
Even when it's hard, we choose to
Enjoy the journey,
George, Ashley, Madison, Lyla and Landen
