Crash course in Jaxson 101!!

Before we get to Mondo's Jaxson lesson, I wanted to post some pics from our first outing with Jax out of the hospital. His favorite, swimming. He looks unhappy but that's just while he's getting used to the water!

We even got Tanner in, and enjoying it! With his autism, he hates the water, and its usually a fight every time we go swimming, so this was a nice change.

Sitting in shallow water, just chillin!



Ok, lesson time. We are lucky that our kids are getting a little older, and Mondo's at the age were he can babysit. My shy oldest is such a good big brother! He knows how to suction, do feeds, and other medical junk. But one thing he's never done....changed a diaper!


Sounds crazy I know, but Jax is a predictable pooper! He only pee's big with his diuretics, and since his bowels don't work, he never poops on his own. So Mondo's never really needed to change a diaper. Well, since being on the vent, we are still trying to get his distended belly down to normal. And in the last week, he has pooped on his own, because of all the pressure in his belly.
Me and Ray went to dinner and a movie last night. At the very end of the movie, Mondo called. He said mom, Jaxson pooped and its on the carpet. I told him to change him and he said. "I don't know how to do that!" Whoops, I guess he's right! I told him to go get a towel and put it under his bum. And get the wipes and a diaper and change him.
We hurried home, and actually he didn't do too bad for his first time. The diaper was on good, but the explosion still showing!



So Jax gets a night bath, and props for showing up his big brother!

Mondo holds no grudge, but how could you with this sweet little face?!
