Medicating

Thanks to everyone for all the extra thoughts and prayers the past couple of weeks. We know that lots of people have been pulling for our little man. Jack is doing great. Most of the time you wouldn't even know he was sick. He still gets IV antibiotics once a day. When we left the hospital, we were under the impression that Home Health would be doing the injection once a day. Instead, Home Health taught us how to do it. Grandma Christensen is his official nurse and handles the injection part, while Mom gets to keep him busy, distracted, and still. Our last day of injections should be Wednesday when he can have the PICC line removed. More than anything, I think that Jack misses taking baths. We can't let his arm get wet, so we do sponge baths by the sink. It's just not the same as splashing. We'll keep you updated on any further tests, but as of now, we're looking good!





Jack still changes and learns all the time. He has learned to put his hands up above his head for "so big". He can also immitate the sound of a sheep when prompted - "baaaa". We think he's smart as a whip. :) He loves to crawl over things instead of around them - like the kitchen table. He'll go through everyone of the chairs and the rail under the table just to get to the other side. He's fascinated with our fireplace right now, so we generally build a barrier to keep him out of that one. He thinks that "NO" is the funniest word ever. He can shake his head "no" very well and laugh every time we say it. He also loves to stick out his tongue....to the side. Not the front, but the side. Who knows, maybe it's the new, hip thing to do. We're so crazy about this little man!
