What a Trooper!

Lucas is still at PCMC and is quite the little trooper (some of the time)! I got to stay overnight with him Sunday so Katie, Jed, and Shara could go to Spanish Fork and get some things and some much needed sleep. He does not like to be woke up in the night to get his vitals checked - especially his blood pressure! He ate really good that night - Pizza (special made just for him) and Sprite! He's still on a very strict diet due to high potassium and phosphorous levels.
We just keep hoping and praying that his little kidneys will start to work properly again so that he can go home! We are so thankful for medical technology and Dr.s and nurses that can help make him better. We are so glad Shara was able to come and help Katie understand and read the stat sheets everyday. She's been a great help staying with her. We missed little Abby not coming but it was easier to leave her with her other Grama this time.
Thanks to Grace and Jim for opening up their house to our family members. They are always so kind and generous when things like this happen. They live so close to PC and it makes it so convenient and comfortable to sleep in beds instead of couches!
I brought Kody home with me for a few days until we know when Lucas can go home. I think he's wondering where his mom, dad and Lucas went. He did get to see Lucas a little bit and was excited to see him.
For more informed and detailed updates go to Katie's blog: valentinefam.blogspot.com.
Thanks to everyone again and again for all you've done. We've had so much love and support shown to our family through this little trial. That's why we've been given families and friends - to help smooth out the bumps in the road. We love you all and can't thank you enough!
