Day +5 and Day +6 have really been uneventful. Jack is doing well. He seem's to be having some signs of Mucouscitis, but he isn't very bothered by it. The doctors put him on a Morphine drip which is giving him small doses of morphine every 4 hours and we have a button to push if he seems to be in more pain. I was a little hesitant, as you can imagine, to put him on it, but the doctors say that this is around the time where these children really seem to be in pain. So, I'm hoping that the morphine is keeping Jack comfortable. He's coloring and playing with his physical therapist and we're doing a lot of reading. (Thanks to Aunt Julie bringing Jack the 60th Anniversay stories of Thomas which Jack just loves - Thank You Bubbles) Anyway, the doctors are amazed at how well he seems to be doing. We still have a long way to go and he may just get worse before he gets better. We are keeping our fingers crossed, knocking on a lot of wood and praying that he doesn't get any worse. I'm hoping faith will prevail.
Thank you all so much for reading our blog, posting comments and/or emailing us. It is so nice to know how loved Jack and our family is. The power of prayer is certainly working, so keep it up.
