I had the privilege of spending the evening with Seth. It began with a field trip to the Ultra-sound room. The wagon ride was nice, but getting Seth and all his tubing where it needed to be was somewhat comical for me! The Ultra-sound was to check a spot on his chest where the Broviac was that seemed to be a bump. In fact there is a pocket of fluid there and tomorrow his team will meet and discuss what to do. The idea is this may be the source of the infection. Stay tuned.....we should know tomorrow if and what they plan to do.
Other than our field trip, it was a pretty un-eventful night. It took a lot out of Seth to go for a ride and he slept most of the time. He has had the feeding tube put back in and so eating is no longer something he really wants to do. (Not that he was eating much before).
Sethman is such a fighter and I am amazed at his will! As I sat with him tonight I was emotional with the thought of what a gift this little guy is to me. I know as a family we have been strengthened and unified through this trial. His nurse tonight commented on the amount of extended family Seth has with him all the time, as well as his mom and dad. She said it was so awesome. What can I say to that? I do have an amazing family! Once you spend some time with Seth, you can't wait to get back up to the hospital and see him again!
The pictures I choose tonight are representative of what my prayer is for Seth.....lets get you from sleeping to eating!
As always, we want to thank you all for you love and support! I know your prayers are giving us the strength to carry-on. We are moving into the 11th month of hospital stays and your willingness to help and contribute have been so comforting.

Keep praying for our Seth! Love you all!
