home

Praise God Jax is scheduled to come home next week!

Jax is doing GREAT

Jax was moved to his new room yesterday and it even comes with a shower so we can spend the night. He is stable on his feeds with no spit ups and is using the bathroom by himself. He is a 8cc now and has never made it past 5cc without problems. Praise JESUS!

improved

Jax surgery went well and he looks so very good. he is at 7cc and no spit ups. he is using the bathroom on his own. God has blessed us once again.

going in to surgery now

surgery

Jax has a surgery today to take the pick line out of his head and put it in his chest. Please pray all goes well. He is doing good thank you for your prayers.

Dr.'s News

Praise the Lord! Talked with the doctor last night and he said they would probably move forward and put a feeding tube in his intestine. This is not a very invasive surgery and there is a small chance for infection. This will also allow him to get off of the "gatoraid". It will still take time but not as much time and he can come home on the feeding tube. He will also take some milk by mouth due to needing it to go into his stomach and will stay on the anti-acid meds to keep the acids in his stomach from causing infection and him from throwing up. But above all else he may be coming home soon! Please pray that this all works for him and the surgery goes well. Thank You All so very much for the continued prayers!

new room

Jax is going to be under the care of the GI surgeon and maybe moved to a special room. He is also having kidney reflux and can not take his milk. The doctor did not give us much hope yesterday due to his current condition but that is also her job to prepare us for the worst. But we know he is under God's care only. Lots of information for one day but he now has his own doctor and specialist to be with him only. Please we need you to keep praying! Thank You, Love you all.

The doctor's still have Jax at 6cc's and he is having spit ups when they give him his medicine. They will run a lower GI today to see if his kidneys are causing the spit ups. They say this sometimes happens to all babies and can be fixed over time or he may need surgery when he gets older. The good thing is that he is tolerating his feeds and his spit ups only appear to be correlated to his meds. Please pray that his kidneys are functioning properly. Thanks, LOVE all of us

Hey Jax!

Dear Jax,

Since I haven't been able to come see you in a few days I wanted to write you a little message to let you know I miss you! Mommy and daddy have told me how well you are doing and I'm so happy to hear this wonderful news. I'm so proud of you for staying strong and all the courage you have! I am praying for you to get better daily and I can't wait for you to come home so we can see you all the time!

We love you so much!

Love,
BB

:)

Praise you our Almighty God! I am amazed at what your prayers have done for our family and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Healer

Jax's GI came back PERFECT. The doctor said he did not even see a scar where the surgery was done. PRAISE YOU OUR HEALER! not sure what is causing the spit ups but they are going to try again with 5cc tomorrow.

test

Jax is having another upper GI today to look for why he is spitting up. Please pray that the results come back good like last time and they can up his feeds again. TY

4cc's

Jax had some spit ups at 5cc's so they gave him a rest and dropped him back to 3cc's. Yesterday they moved him back to 4cc's. Just spoke with the nurse and she said he has not spit up and he did another poopie on his own. Small set back but this is the first time he has tolerated 4cc's without spit ups. Normal babies spit up but because Jax is on medications to keep him from having reflux this is a sign of a problem. He is progressing every day and we Praise God for this. It is in God's time and not ours so we will wait till he is ready for little Jax to come home. I am still at peace with God's will for Jax and I refuse to worry about set backs because there will be some. The amazing thing is we are almost positive that he will not have to have another surgery. God has healed him from this and will continue to get him ready for us when we can bring him home. Thank You Dear Lord Jesus for hearing our prayers!

spit ups

Jax has begun to spit up on his 5cc's. At least he made it to 5 this time. Please pray for us and our little man. We want him home so bad! All we need is for him to eat and digest. Thank you

progress

Jax is doing great due to all the prayers THANK YOU JESUS! still no spit ups and is at 5cc's please pray he remains taking his milk this week ty

waiting on God to send Jax home

Jax had his first poopie last night without any help. Praise God for his almighty power and healing touch. I know Jax has been healed but has some work to finish at the hospital. Hopefully he will be sending our little man home soon. The may up his feeds today, this is where we run into a problem at 4cc's so please pray for no spit ups! Thanks to all of you and your faithfulness to our family. Love you all!

feeds

It appears that Jax's intestines are not moving fast enough for his food to process. The doctor said that this is odd for a baby in his condition because usually it moves too fast and nothing is processed. They have stopped his feeds again to let his body rest. Please pray that his intestines will begin working as he is getting older now. The doctor told us not to worry and we are holding on. I know Jax is in Gods hands and his time. I will not let the devil take my faith for God is the only one who can heal Jax and bring him home to us healthy. Love you all.

God is our Healer

Jax had his first real poopie yesterday ;) I know that God has already healed Jax and is already fullilling his promise for Jax to touch peoples lives and be a great man and live for God. Thank you all for helping our family, we love you and appreciate you very much!

Today

Going to keep it short, I promise ;) Here with Jax, Nate is holding him now. He is at 3cc drip and 5cc 2x a day by bottle. So far no spit ups and he is having stools that were better than before. They are waiting until Monday to go up on his feeds but they are taking it slow. He is getting treatment for the "Gatorade" he is getting to help his liver function stay strong. Just pray that he does not have any liver problems in the future (as a special request). Ty and we love you all very much!

I will sing Praise no weapon forged against me shall remain!

When God and I spoke this morining I was reminded that my flesh is still of this world and God is in complete control. I have no control over the things of this world, I must trust our Lord and Savior and his plans for the future of my children. God opened my eyes to the great plans he has for my life and now the life of the generation to come. It is my duty to raise my children to fear and love the Lord. That is my reason for living so that both my children and I can grow in the knowledge of how love, forgiveness, and the importance the lives of others are to God. Jax is doing great compaired to a lot of other children in the hospital. Jax is in God's hands and not mine. Forgive me for the doubt of the devil and keep the prayers coming! Every prayer you pray for our family is truly heard and appreciated. I spent 7 hours today holding my GIFT from God. I did nothing but sit and think of the wonderful love and power God has already delivered. We love you all and appreciate you very much. May God bless your lives as he has ours.
