May 8th

Yesterday was exhausting. Jett's breathing worsened over the last two days and he was too tired to eat. His bloodwork shows he is negative for sepsis or an infection on the central line although they will not finalize that for 48 hours. His hematocrit levels are pretty low which may be causing him to breath hard. His blood gases and O2 sats are good which means they don't need to put him on oxygen. He is being fed by an NG tube again so he doesn't have to work so hard to eat. His heartbeat keeps dropping low which is scary. Pj is on his way up to the hospital this morning. Last night when we left the hospital he seemed to have much more relaxed breathing and had states of awakeness. The nurse reported he had a pretty good night and was able to actually eat from a bottle. Cultures are still pending...

keep you posted!
