Update on Jax

Jax is doing ok, he's still holding his own. He coughed all night last night, and had fevers all night. But his oxygen need hasn't gone above a liter yet. He keeps gagging and wretching and I'm afraid he's going to rip apart his newly fixed nissen. Thanks for all the prayers. So far they seem to be working, he hasn't gone downhill yet. And hopefully it will stay that way.

Another brave hero passed away this morning. My good friend Julie who has Ariana. A little girl that she knew that had Trisomy 16 passed away today. She was 4 years old. Its super hard on Julie because there are not many trisomy 16, 13, and 18 kido's around, so they had a lot in common and it really hit home for her. Pray for her family that they will get through this.


Here's some pics of Jax

Hey girlie been meaning to leave a message and only have a second still but just wanted to tell you to ask for Zofran for your little guy....

After Jophies nissan they automatically put him on that to keep from ripping the new nissan...Oh and its very very common for the fundo surgery to cause lasting gagging/wretching...I know lotsa kiddos including Jophie who were unlucky enough for this to remain...

He remains on Zofran and has been now for 9 years...We could NOT make it without it...

Hope your little guy feels better real soon...Our kiddos are so tuff and snap back ever so quickly...

One more thing....Because of the Zofran Jophies Nissan has remained intact and as tight as the day it was placed....The docs give the credit to us being so quick to respond to any gagging/wretching at all with zofran....It works instantly by the way and very easy to used in any form....Crushed and shoved through the tube or dissolving ones on the tongue...

Lacey sending "Get well" prayers Jaxson's way. He is one tough cookie! Sorry to hear he is gagging and wretching. I hate to say but "Welcome to my worls for the last 7 months." It will pass and you friend is right about Zophran, it is an amazing drug. BUT Ava's body becomes accumstomed to it and then we have to stop it for about a week and then start it back up again for good results. Thinking of you all!
