How is he? How is she? How is he?

So mom took Braden to the dr. on Monday morning and was told that he could cut back to drops every SIX hours (instead of every one..then two) and just take two pills a day (instead of 4). I'm thinking the steroid drops are the key. He doesn't have to go back to Duke until Monday..one week later. I am SO thankful it's getting better! We feel like we're starting to see the 'light at the end of the tunnel'. Brian came home so discouraged last time two new spots popped up that we started to think it was going to be the 'norm'...which is daunting. But we're SO thankful things are clearing up and new spots haven't shown up.

Braden hasn't been as tired lately but I think circumstances have a lot to do with that (without going into detail). He is still having 'averse effects' from the stress he's been through but we are praying through that and hoping that once his eye is completely healed that things will start to go back to normal.

He has been blessed by SO many people who sent cards and gifts...thank you!  He still can't believe that this many people care for HIM...silly boy!

Cailey girl. Oh, my Cailey girl. We're starting to see that her surgery was for nothing because she still continues to get sick. Last time it wasn't as bad so at least that was an improvement...but now she is very sick. She has her typical symptoms (high fever, headache, achy, sore throat, canker sores, no appetite) and I just feel TERRIBLE for her!  It started on Sunday evening with a headache and she was off and on yesterday but at 5am she came in BURNING up and freezing.  I'm treating her with Ibuprofen and she really does seems to perk up once it kicks in...but it's very obvious when it wears off or I forget to bring a pill along and there is a time lapse. Poor thing is pitiful:(.

Ephram goes back to the doctor tomorrow for another x ray and I'm sure it'll show that his leg is healed because at home he's back to normal. He has a little limp left but can run, jump, climb, and everything else little boys love to do. We'll be very thankful to take his WEE boot off for good:).
