The Red Wagon

Update 3/19/14 (via friend):
Words cannot express the strength of this sweet little boy! He is doing incredible and had so many great moments today. The love that fills his hospital room is truly overwheming with his dear parents and both sets of grandparents doting, kissing, and passing him off to each other. The peace of the Lord is so incredible to watch in Catherine and Kirk! Your prayers are working! Kirk and Catherine are absolutely overwhelmed by your love and support! People have loved in every way possible.
Summary of today:
*Field was moved out of the PICU to a nornal room which is much more comortable and can fit his whole support team:)
*the swelling has increased quite a bit but just as expected. It usually peaks from 48-72 hours and we are at 48. He is now unable to open his eyes due to swelling. All very normal for this surgery.
*He got to go outside on a wagon ride and loved it
*He is most comforted in mamas arms and responded to daddy today saying "bye,bye" several times and the tears of joy were flowing by all
*He continues to nurse well but did not keep down his last bottle tonight
*He got many of the wires, cords, and IVs out today which has made him more comfortable (I clearly do not know medical jargin)
*Kirk and Catherine were able to get out and grab some dinner tonight while the grandparents held down the fort. Field was comforted in their arms the whole time.
Prayers:
*Field would be able to rest tonight
*Swelling and discomfort would decrease quickly
*He would not have anymore nausea
*that his little raspy voice would clear up from the tubes during surgery
*that Kirk and Catherine would get some REST! They are completely spent both emotionally and physically
* that Field, Catherine and Kirk would experience the peace that surpasses all knowledge that only comes from Christ!
Oh Father in Heaven, You know the deepest parts of our hearts! We lay this precious little boy and family in your arms and pray you would meet them where they are with your surpernatural comfort and peace!
