The puffy face is back!


Its clear from these pics that Jax face is getting huge again. Look how his trach tie is almost invisible under the puffiness. I started noticing a real difference a few days ago. Yesterday he was up to 24 lbs! His normal is in the 22 range. Thats a huge difference. But the reason I'm worried is because its only in his face, neck, and upper chest. Thats his SVC again. His legs are fine, and his feet are fine. She checked his albumen, because he's had problems with that being low and causing puffiness. But his albumen is just a tad low, not low enough to cause the puffiness. She also wanted to check his level of his lovenox in his blood. If its too low, he could be clotting. They were not able to get that level, they poked him 3 times, and only got enough for the albumen. So we wait for cardiology and hematology to call with their opinions on where to go from here! Yikes!

Jax new jammies of the night.

Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!!


He loves Buzz lightyear. Look at his face on the ride. All smiles, and he was loving the bright lights!
Tons of stimulation!

Oh no, he does look puffy!! I hope things can get figured out to see if there is something to help him!!

We have Daftary for pulmo. We haven't seen him yet. The one bacteria that is worse and causing the pneumonia doesn't respond to tobi so we are going to try something else for that and then possibly go on the tobi for the other bacteria. I'm not sure what the deal is with the tobi, they just don't want her on it continuously. Not sure why though. I mentioned a little while ago about how you guys go on it for the two weeks and then back off and they just said they don't want to do that with Maggie. I don't know I think I will make an appt with pulmo again and rediscuss this and then if they aren't understanding I will give your pulmo a try!!

Lacey, he looks adorable as always. Love the Buzz jammies. I cannot BELIEVE you are so close to having a DAUGHTER in your house. She's almost here!!!
