Jax is doing good tonight. They left him on the vent, I don't know for how long. I haven't heard any plans to take him off tonight. It wasn't near as bad as I thought seeing him for the first time with his new hardware. He does look funny to me with no cannula, his nostrils look huge to me, but it wasn't all that bad. I think the good thing is he was slightly awake when I first went in but he was pretty zoned. Then they gave him morphine and he's been in la la land since. So he doesn't seem to be in pain and he hasn't cried yet. The blue lines on his chest are the stitches in the trach, they will stay in for 3 days, then they will switch trachs and he'll be ready to go to the floor if he's otherwise stable. We're expecting a week to ten day stay.
Oh, and tomorrow when I get up there I promise to give him kisses from everyone!!
Just checking in again. He looks good with his new "hardware." It is different seeing his face without a cannula. I hope you will be able to see an improvement in his breathing soon. We will of course continue to pray that all will go smoothly with all the teaching that goes along with this new step. Loves and prayers to all of you!
ReplyDeleteOh my, he was always beautiful, but WOW!

After his last surgery, the pictures you first put up of him being home.....He didn't look to well.....He looked a little blue......It scared me :0(.......But he truly looks great.....This is by far the best decision.
I pray that he continues to do well and be the championship boxer that he is .....lol
He has put up such a great fight his whole life.......He is such an awesome little boy......
<3 you all

Oh Jaxson I have been worried about you. You look great. I think you are going to like that trach. No more tape on your handsome face:)
ReplyDeleteI know you have said differently, but one thing I loved about Bella's trach is that I can see her whole face. Sweet Jax - he is a handsome little man! I am so glad he came through alright.
ReplyDeleteKiss him for me! And hug yourself.
Darn! My sister was signed into this computer - that was me, Shelly
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how Arna and Jax will be able to play now, no more taking turns pulling out Os. We will have to teach her not to touch Jax's hardware.
ReplyDeleteWe love you girlie, let me know if I can bring you some Taco Bell for lunch or dinner.
Glad to see that Jax is doing good. What a sweet little boy you have.
ReplyDeleteHe looks adorable as always! I'm going to be up there on Wednesday if there's anything you need :)
ReplyDeleteHang in there Mama! He looks great!! Boy do those pics take me back....I will be praying for that stinking old vent to fly the coop!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to see his face! He looks so handsome. So beautiful. And you, Lacey, you're amazing as always! Great big HUGS. Sorry I've been a little out of touch. Just know I've been thinking of you every day!
ReplyDeleteJaxson - you look even more handsome now!! Lacey, we are praying that the trach will be a helpful and easy(as possible) adjustment for all of you- especially you and Jaxson! Keep fighting hard for Jaxson - he is so blessed to have you for a Mommy!!
ReplyDeleteHugs sweet little man.
ReplyDeleteHe looks so adorable and still rocking with that cool hairstyle! Praying that he has a quick recovery.
