monday.....monday

This past weekend was pretty uneventful for Jett. He continues to get worn out easily and has not bounced back fully from this past event. The nurses believe he would benefit from a blood transfusion but the doctors are not as quick to give blood. His blood count went up a tiny bit this am from the bloodwork last week. Pj and I spent the morning at the blood bank donating our blood just in case he needs a transfusion down the road. I am a match but we are unsure of Pj's blood type so he may or may not be able to use his blood for Jett. If Jett doesn;t use our blood, the bank will give it to someone in need.

Mother's Day was pretty fun. Jace and I went fishing in the afternoon after going to Pj's restaurant for a Mother Day's brunch. Nana and Pop came along at the end of our outting, Pop had the magic bait...hotdogs and feta cheese. He caught 2 fish but Jace wouldn't touch them...he said they were gross!

Hoping this week we will make some progress with feeds. Once we get the okay from GI and Surgeons they will begin "refeeding" the stool from the ostomy to the other opening called the mucus fistula. Then he can hopefully absorb more nutrients and get off the IV nutrition.

Thanks for the sweet messages!

Love Liz
