Kiker

Here is the most recent update on Kiker.

Kiker is very mobile (only 1 IV); which the doctors are encouraging mobility to force the lungs to inflate fully and assist in reducing the fluid. Kiker's current condition is low output heart failure with fluid complication and some lung issues. In layman terms: Kiker’s heart is just not squeezing nor releasing as good as the doctors would like to see and there is fluid build up. Currently a heart catheterization is scheduled for tomorrow to obtain the pressures inside the heart as well as look around to see if there is anything they can correct in the cath lab or with another open heart surgery. Right now there is a lot of testing along with consulting drs elsewhere to ensure the current plan is the best plan for making Kiker stable and better. "Transplant" has been used in conversations but they are not at the point where they will even begin the testing to get listed on a transplant list. This is just talk and there has been no definitive finger pointing that Kiker needs to be on that list at this time. After the cath and consultations tomorrow, the plan should be much clearer to everyone.

Please continue to pray for Kiker, his family, and the Drs.

Blessings!

Asking for prayer.

I am asking everyone that happens to read this to please pray for our cousins' son Kiker. I have blogged about him in the past. He was born with a heart defect and here recently has been having some serious issues. Just a couple months ago Kiker had a stroke and needed a pacemaker installed. The surgery went well and Kiker was rehabilitating fine. Then a couple weeks ago he started not wanting to eat or having much energy. I got news today that Kiker was back in the hospital having heart failure. He is now stabilized and we are waiting to see what the Drs decide is the next course to take. Please say a quick prayer for Kiker, his mom Candace and dad Paco, his brother and sisters, and of course the Drs.
Blessings,
Liz and Logan

Happy Father's Day

We love you sooo much!

Coopman and Gracie are so blessed to have you as their daddy!!

Need to smile?

I just had to post this....makes me smile everytime I hear it!

LOVE HIM!!!

I would like to introduce you to...

George!

(or as Coop says "Jor")

George is like a glow worm, you press his belly and his face lights up and plays music. Coop got him for Christmas from his cousins, Bella and Parker. I always have kept it in his bed and played the music for him when I lay him down. He has never shown much interest in anything, blanket or stuffed animal....until now! For the past month, when I get him out of bed, he has been loving on George and always wanting to take him with him. In fact, he knows his name now and when I take Coop out of bed he will point at George and say "Jor". It is really cute. I gave in this morning and let him take him downstairs. So I would like to introduce you all to "Jor", Coops first friend :)

Mean Mommy!

I put latches on the cabinet doors while he was taking a nap. (this was the same nap that he decided to take his diaper off and play in his poop. You will hear me reference this in the video) I knew he would go straight to them when he woke up and so I had my video camera ready! This is what I got.....
