Update from Rachel

Yesterday was a big day for Kaden! The ventilator was removed around 3:00 and he did fine without it, His throat was so sore he could barely cry though. A couple hours later the doctor said the nurses could take out his catheter and the IV in his right hand and that he could try to drink some milk from a bottle. He drank less than an ounce but it's a start and I think he will do better once his throat feels better. If things go well over the next couple of days he could be moved up to a room on the regular floor this weekend sometime.
