Day 17
Jax day 17: 980 grams or 2lbs 3oz. Today is day two of the steroids. They seem to really be helping. In addition to the the steroids he is getting caffeine as well. He is being weaned off of the vent right now and there is a chance they will try to pull it tomorrow if he continues to improve. His hematocrit is 27 so he is getting two blood transfusions tonight 20ccs total. There are no bowels sounds but x-rays show some gas present so we gave him 1cc of milk to see if we can get him to accept food. He is doing great. The weaning is pissing him off a little bit but he is rebounding to the decreased rates well. FOJSP!
We have started to decorate Jackson's "home" more. Grammy and Grandpa Kuwitzky made Jackson this adorable sign.
Thanks to my Dad's friend, the wonderful people at United Methodist Church in Virginia made Jackson this beautiful prayer quilt. It has all these strings on it, and every time someone said a prayer for Jackson at their church they tied a knot. It is so comforting to see all the prayers for our sweet little boy.
Jackson is one loved little boy.
