playdate with Carter!

Of course I didn't take my camera, that would be to easy! I need to just put my little camera in the diaper bag and leave it there for cute moments! We went to Carters house to play today. Or mostly to make bows and crafty things like that. Kristi helped me with my summer letters I bought a while back, because I don't have any paint or supplies like that. When we move to Cali I plan to have a room for all my sewing, bows, blankies, etc.
Ta da, isn't it so cute?

Thanks Carter and Kristi, we had a fun day!

And a little on whats going on with Jax. Really he acts and looks ok. Respiratory he is fine, and he does not have a virus. Its his albumen level that continues to drop. The only symptoms of that is his puffiness. He is also super sleepy, which isn't a sign of low albumen. If it drops below 2 he needs IV replacement. Yesterday it was down to 2.5, and we recheck it on Saturday. We checked his urine today, and his kidneys are fine. Thank goodness, I don't need any more failures. We've had heart failure and respiratory failure, we didn't need to add kidney failure to that! The problem is we still don't know what is causing it to fall. My ped talked to cardiology today and he said heart failure can cause the albumen to drop. Of course heart failure also causes sleepiness. Yikes! Heart failure will also cause his oxygen needs to be up. That may explain why I can't even take him off his O's to bath him without his sats dropping to 75. The good thing is we have an echo and a cardiology appointment on the 26th, so cardiology wants to look closely at his heart and see if something is up with it. I hope not, on the other hand we need to know whats causing his albumen to drop so we can fix it. I can't go out of the county and leave him like this.
