Jordan

Just thought I'd share some awesome news on Jordan. Let me first start off by saying that both boys have had another excellent day! Jaxon had another echo cardiogram today and the blood is still flowing bidirectional so surgery is still postponed. He is such a little wiggle worm that they had to put the straps on the snugly on him to keep him still. He's such a happy baby you'd think that he was full term.

Now Mr. Jordan is just doing phenomenal! He receicved his last dose of morphine today after his lumbar puncture. The LP was done to see how long he will have to been on antibiotics to treat his blood infection. The preliminary results look good but we will get the offical report later this evening. They also started Jordan on caffiene today to help stimulate his brain and help prevent sleep apnea. He will get a his "daily shot" every morning (just like his momma)! Tomorrow they are going to REMOVE HIS RESPIRATOR!!!!! This is a HUGE step! I almost cried when they told me that today. The PDA surgery has just worked wonders on Jordan. They won't be able to try any of these things with Jaxon until he has the surgery. Once they remove the last line left in Jordan's belly button(checks the blood pressure) we will get to hold him. This is usually done once they reach 10 days of life( so probably on Saturday).

Praise God that the boys are doing so well! Please continue to pray for them.
