Gonzalez's Heart

Jaden has been doing pretty good. Yesterday he spiked another temp. in the late morning. After that he took a nap. When waking from his nap, he was content and looked pretty comfortable. For the remainder of the day he did well which was a huge accomplishment for him. We took another abdominal x-ray last night because he looked bloated and still was pulling his legs in. They saw a lot of gas so we put him on some gas drops last night and he looks quite a bit better today.

He has been hanging out this morning playing a little. He seems to be getting over this mess. Let's hope he continues to improve and does not get another temp. So far we have gotten nothing back from his labs that would keep him here. If we keep getting nothing back and he gets no more temps. then hopefully we will be on our way closer to the door out.

Jaden is watching Sesame Street right now and seems pretty interested in it.

Hope you are all getting your Christmas shopping and preparations done. Enjoy this time of year.

It is so good to hear that Jaden is doing better... despite the fever.

My opinion? If the fever isn't related to his heart and they don't find any "bugs", he would be far better off at home.

If he had a fever AT home you would keep a close eye on him, but not admit him to the hospital. You are such a great mom, and like Steph T said in a previous comment, you can't start doubting yourself now! We ALL have faith in your abilities.

Like I said, that is just my opinion :) He's a strong little boy - a fighter. We'll keep praying! I'm sure you'll be home for Christmas :)
