He's a fighter!

Not much to report today. He did make some very minor improvemnets but he is a lot more swollen today. The doctors and nurses tell me that is normal for burn victims. The peak time for swelling is 24-48 hours, so we have about 18 hours left for swelling. It's so hard to look at him when he doesn't look like himself. They put in a feeding tube today so he can get the nutrition his little body needs. I found out today it will at least be until Thanksgiving until he is taken off the ventilator, so he will still be in critical condition until they take it out. He seems to come in and out and he tries to communicate. He will wiggle his feet and it's fun to know he can hear us. We read him some storied today and let him listen to the movie Brave. I thought it was appropriate because he is being so brave. We are so appreciative of all the love and support we have gotton. I wish I could respond to all the messages individually, but just know we appreciate everything that has been done for us and our family. I had my surgery in May here and I knew back then this was the best hospital. The doctors and nurses here are amazing. They know how to help me cope, and they are so good with Tayton. Couldn't ask for any more. I am just so greatful he has made it this far. Two of the other boys got released from the hospital today, so that made me happy. We still have one of the other boys here in the hospital with us. Please pray for him too. I know of his situation but for respect on their family I won't say how he is doing but he could use some prayers too. Thanks again for all you have done for us, the messages really help us and I feel the support and love from everywhere.
