Pain is better this morning

No morphine since 8 this morning. They are working towards an oral pain relief that will be a big step in getting Tristan home. He has been unable to keep anything down at this point. He had a few crackers recently and if he keeps it down it will be the first.

He is still working at getting the "stuff" that is in his lungs out. He is coughing and dad is working hard to keep suction going.

Tristan had a surprise today. While in his room, around the corner peeked a gorilla. It was the Phoenix Suns Gorilla. He came in and gave Tristan a stuffed gorilla, signed card, and a jersey. It brought a big smile to his face.

They are working on getting him up and walk around. The order just came down to move him out of ICU.

As always, God is so good. Even when it feels like a setback, there is a positive right behind it.

Till next update...

Right on! Suns rock! We love you Tristan and I just thank God for how much strength He's been giving you! Shannon and Aaron you two are such great parents and God is truly answering prayer. Know that prayer is being continued through all of us and even though we aren't with you always, our prayer and the Lord almighty is.
