Six pack, maybe?

Wanting to give Caden every possible solution to his nausea, Sue had us stay longer yesterday for more IV nausea meds and more fluids. Caden was able to get twice the nausea meds and 2- liters of fluids. It.was.the.best.night!!! He came home (RMH) and ate some dinner (in the kitchen area, surprise, surprise) watched and played along to Family Feud, laughed while watching Impractical Jokers, took two long showers, and slept through the night, without throwing up once! Then...he woke up, took another long shower, asked to wear jeans (he has worn comfy pants since January 17th) and walked down to the car!! I almost cried in relief. My Caden feels well today!!

Sue stopped by to see what we wanted to do today. When she heard our amazing news, she ordered today, tomorrow, and Sunday to go exactly as it did yesterday. It means more time at the hospital, but who cares about that when he feels this great after?!

She got to tell him the good news about the feeding tube. She said that she was working out ways to help get meat on his bones, saying that he would get IV nutrition the moment he was out of surgery, for the entire two weeks of recovery. 

"So...do you think you could ask her to order me some extra weight on my stomach to give me a six pack? Maybe a little extra in each arm and peck?"

There was a moment of stunned silence and then everyone within eat shot burst into peels of laughter. Not only was Caden feeling so much better, he shared his amazing humor with all of us today. 

The last 24-hours have felt absolutely amazing. We have our Caden fully back! Caden is a suffer-in-silence kind of kid, Always has been. So when he complains, the pain is more than most would be able to handle. He has not been complaining much the last week, but he has also not said much, either. So, to not only hear his voice, but to hear him joke?! Music to my ears, I tell you!!
