10 weeks today!

This tenth week has been a roller coaster like all the others. Monday we were told that Jett would be coming home in about a week to heal and grow until his next surgery. We had mixed emotions, mostly scared but excited he would be home. The idea of coming home was brief when Tuesday, he stopped breathing and his heart stopped. The doctors do not know why he is having these episodes. This is the 3rd time this has occurred. Pj was holding him when he seemed to choke. The nurse was going to suction his secretions when his body went limp in Pj's arms. They tried to stimulate him to breath and when that didn't work they bagged him. He only needed help for about 10 seconds and then he began breathing on his own again. The drs seem baffled. All of the follow-up blood work and xrays have looked fine. Jett was perfect today, had good awake periods, was breathing fine and ate alright as well. Now we are scared to death to bring him home. He will stay in the hospital for now. Pj was very shaken by the whole thing as you can imagine. He was having a hard time yesterday getting the images out of his mind. He thought he had lost his baby for good for those few short seconds.

  1. So glad they are keeping Jett in the hospital for now. Know you must be very concerned about bringing him home. I will keep praying for God's timing on that home going.
    Praying,
