On the rollercoaster again today. We started off really good...Vanessa let him have pudding this morning...he really liked it and swallowed really good. She also let him have coffee on a swab and more ice. Then, we went to United Regional for the ultrasound of his legs. The kids were here when we got back, and Riley and Cade were both able to sit in the bed with him. He smiled alot and patted Riley on the back. Then, at 1:30 he started throwing up. Not just a little...a lot. He was given some anit-nausea medicine and has been resting. The nurse felt like the throwing up was probably a combination of the pudding and then being jostled around in the ambulance...please pray we have no setbacks before getting to Baylor.
Dr Reeves our neurosurgeon just stopped by for a visit. He hasn't seen Rick in 4 weeks. He heard about Rick's progress and wanted to see for himself. He was very pleased that Rick has made so much progress in such a short amount of time...just another reminder of God's grace.
The power of prayer is awesome!
Love,
Crystal

Wow what a day!! I wish you could talk to DeeDee Fite. Her little boy, Clay, was badly burned on Valentine's Day in Olney. He had a trach, etc. and had huge problems with throwing up. They fought it for weeks. But he's fine now and home. Maybe if it doesn't get better quickly, they could help. I'll be glad to call her if you need me to. Hopefully the nurse was right and it was the pudding and the ambulance ride. So glad he got to sit with Cade and Riley.
