Buenos Noches all. We are settling in for the evening. Christie and I have been on the go since early this morning. Houston and Jackson are enjoying their last days of summer.
Zander is still heavily sedated and enjoying the pain meds. Dr. Kelley came and checked on the Zman today and said he was doing fine. He wants Zander to be sedated and still for a couple of days to minimize his movements due to the surgery, which will also minimize his pain. Dr. Kelley said that he does not need to be eating at this point (through the G-tube) so Zander is presently on 100% IV feeds.
Dallas, his nurse during the day shift today, indicated that he has used the bathroom (both 1 and 2), but this was likely still left over from his feedings from yesterday. He is resting comfortably and his CPAP has already been turned down where he is doing more of the breathing on his own through the trach. Amazed is my word for the day. I am amazed at what Zander can tolerate and I hope that he continues to progress well. Hopefully tomorrow, he will be awake so we can talk to him and see his big, beautiful eyes and those big cheeks.
The comments and prayers may seem insignificant to you, but rest assured they mean the world to our family and Zander. We can never repay the generosity, concern and heartfelt acts of love to our family. Thank you.
I will write again tomorrow...if not sooner. Good night and God bless each of you. May you dreams be big and your sleep be sound. Sweet dreams son. We love you.

The ZMan looks like he is catching some seriously restful Zs! I hope you all are able to do the same. Give our love to Houston and Jackson. You all continue to be on our minds and in our hearts.....
Much love,

Sienna, my friend Rhonda and I have been following this closely. We are so thankful to God that he holds all of us in the palm of his hand. He has already performed many miracles in this childs life and it is absolutely awesome. Sienna says he looks like a baby doll, and he sure does but, he is absolutely georgeous to all of us. We continue to keep all of you in our prayers. God's love never fails. He loves that baby so much. Love to all Cele, family and friends

Clancey & Christie,
Just a little note so you know we are keeping up with your little man's progress and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
What an awesome little guy you got there, to match his awesome family.
Take care and get some rest.
We love you guys,
Dave & Annette Mullis
Just wanted to let you know that your family has been on our prayer list at Mt. Hermon Baptist Church in Chickamauga, GA. My husband is the pastor and we heard about you through Jody Poindexter.
In Oct 2006 we spent 11 days in the NICU with our son. He had two surgeries during that time. While I would never say that I know what you are going though because circumstance are always different, I know the many emotions that come during that time.
You already know there is a long road ahead, but you will find many blessings, small and large, along the way.
Many prayers. Wendy Westbrook
