Kai has a surgery date

Kai will be having surgery Friday afternoon to have the G-tube (gastrostomy) put in. We are praying that everything goes well. He should be able to come home 3-4 days after surgery. We will have to learn how to feed him with this tube. Today he is having an ultrasound done on his hips to see how they are doing. The orthopedic doctor is suppose to see him sometime today as well. He will determine what the plan is for the harness that Kai has been in. Kai is also suppose to be looked at by the pain team. He has been experiencing pain with having this harness on. Otherwise we have been just keeping busy with Gavin and Jace and driving up to see Kai. Since Levi and I will be there for Kai's surgery tomorrow, we will be missing out on taking Gavin and Jace trick or treating. But they won't miss out, Grandma and Grandpa will be taking them. Until the next post!

Good luck today, little man!! You are such a strong boy already - I know you will do amazing during surgery. You are one step closer to coming home to join your mommmy, daddy and big brothers. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we'll be thinking about you today.
