Today they are starting the other tests for his bowels. Basically, they are going to put a metal down his NG tube and and through an x-ray type thing watch it go through his digestive system to rule out any other problems that may still be there. Hopefully all will be clear and than Friday he can start slowly having food in his stomach again. You would think that would make him feel just alittle bit better.
Last night we had some problems with Jacob's oxygen levels being low. The x-ray showed his left lung was partially collapsed. That happened because his heart is so big. But they adjusted some things and today seems to be doing better.
Blood count is now 15!! So I am happy it is going up. He is now getting epo shots everyday to build up before surgery.
yeah! thats my boy! so he is still sedated? do they think he will come off it soon?
