Hospital visit Thurs.

Hi Folks,
Poppa and Mimi are here at hospital with Hayden and Mom and Dad are resting with Mason we hope. Mason is getting a little tired of being in the motel day in and day out. Apparently Mason threw a fit when he went back with Momma and daddy and did not want to go to nap time so Daddy had to take him to the park. We'll see how that rent later.....I 'm not expecting them back before 9:00 PM tonight.

Now for update on Hayden....he has continued to hold his own w/o vent, but still getting low oxygen. His tongue seems to be a big issue right now because it is still swollen and his teeth keep cutting into it which is causing a problem with swelling. They (nurses)have tried to protect tongue from teeth by using gauge to wrap tongue. They also massage the tongue to help swelling to go down so it will not protrude from his mouth. So keep praying on that issue please. Hayden is still in a zone when you talk to him because of the meds but all in all he is progressing well. The PT came in this AM to get him moving and he kicked the ball with his legs and moved hands over his head. He is still not able to get up out of bed yet. Momma was pitching the ball and she accidently hit his nose and she said he actually had a small grin. So I was excited to hear about that although I'm jealous because I have not seen any emotions from him yet but it will come and I can't wait. God is faithful!!!!!

Poppa will be leaving sometime in the next couple of days and I'm still not sure whether I'm staying or going with him. Wherever I am Mason will be with me. Please pray for travel mercies on that issue. Poppa really needs to get back to work, even though we do not know when Dr. Al-Mefty will do the next surgery.We do however know it will be in the coming weeks .So please pray for Hayden's strength and quick recovery of this one and complete removal of rest of tumor and there will be not set backs with the next and hopefully the last. I will sign off for now. Thanks again for all the prayers.

Still Praising Him,
Mimi

Will continue to be praying that the swelling in Hayden's tongue will be gone. It is great to hear about the smile,he still has his great sense of humor, I will also be praying for decision about the trip back home. That is hard knowing that you both want to be up there with Hayden so much. Praying for the Lord's continued blessings upon you all. Love you all, Ms Sandra

It's so good to hear Hayden is improving every day. Looking forward to reading of the day they get him up and walking. I know he must be anxious to get out of that bed. Still praying for you all. It's been a long road but there's peace at the end of the journey! Keep your head up and your faith in Jesus strong!
Love ya'll, Rosie
