The finally gave a diagnosis of what has been giving Jett all of the recent problems. It is a virus called RSV ( respitory syncytial virus ). The only reason they found out what the problem was is because @ 6:15 pm they coded and bagged him. After that they ran a viral test and found out almost immediately that it was RSV. The hospital messed up big time after he coded, they didn't call Liz or me. The way we found out is at 12am when i called the nurse to see how he was doing, she told us. As you can imagine i raised holy hell because we were not informed of what happened. i made it known that if he so much as burps too loud that we are called or i will make sure someone is punished. The GI doctor also gave us some bad news about his intestines. We were told after his first surgery that 1/3 of his small intestine was removed by the surgeon. However today the GI doctor thinks that a lot more was removed and that is very bad for the absoration of food and vitamins. The most frustrating thing is that they cant be sure he is missing more than 1/3 or how bad he will be effected. They wont know anything until they reconnect his intestines. The only good thing from that is he will be able to come home until he gets put back together.
