A Breather of a Day

Today was a little bit of a break for Landon from tests and discomforts.  He didn't have an xray this morning which was nice and there weren't any other "tests" ordered for him today so we got to have a lazy morning in his room.  It was amazing for Gary and I to both have eaten breakfast and showered by 9am!  Landon also did a great job today of not being so freaked out during getting his blood pressure taken (which happens 6 times a day) and his being more calm helps the results not be artificially high.  They were even going to up his medication for blood pressure and with the better pressures today they decided not to. 

Not much news when it comes ot his medical status since not much has changed.  Right now there is a catheterization scheduled for Monday and we hope to talk to the surgeon tomorrow about his reasons for wanting to move forward with that.  We trust his decision but want to make sure we're on the same page, especially since Landon has gone under anesthesia so many times in the last few weeks.  We are continuing with the low fat diet and he's still doing well with that which is great.  He still loves going to see the ball machine, the "good" fish tank with Nemo and Dory, and sitting in the window at night to watch for airplanes.  We didn't make it to the play room today but I'm sure we'll be there tomorrow!

We are eager to get home but understand that this is a marthon and not a sprint and want to make sure we don't take Landon home only to bring him back again a few days later.  Thank you so much for your diligent prayers and encouraging words.  They are so appreciated and often come to us right when we need them.  Please continue to pray that Landon would be comforted and that we would have the strength to perservere.  We have been blesesed to have an excellent team of doctors and nurses who patiently answer each question and attend to each request.  This makes all the difference and assures us that we are all on the same team - Team Landon!
