Cure 4 Jack

Good Day Today!!!! Jack was very congested this morning and finally at noon he asked me if he could take off his nasal cannula to blow his nose and after that we never put it back on. Jack is no longer on oxygen and hopefully won't need it. The doctors say he still has a little fluid but not nearly as bad as it was. They are still watching his fluid intake and working on giving him the proper nutrition without over hydrating him again. He's getting TPN (total parental nutrition) which is protocol for all transplant patients. Most of these children get mouth sores and something called mucousitis from all the antibiotics given which make them not want to eat and they don't want the kids to fall behind on their nutrition. Thankfully Jack has had no signs thus far and we pray that he doesn't get them. His blood levels are not coming up yet and his hemoglobin is down right now so Jack got red blood cells today to hopefully boost them up. Otherwise he is doing very well. Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers and please continue to do so.
