Dinner time :0

Dinner time is a hard thing when you can't chew!
We have tried to blend spaghetti O's and Ramon noddles. It just makes weird soup that Jett says "just doesn't taste right" so after trying lots of different things we went back to go old mash potato and gravy!

It can get kinda messy when you get a air bubble and it blows up in your face!!


all over you and Dad:)

On the ceiling!


and yes he even cleaned it up:)
It made for a very messy and funny dinner time.
There's never a dull moment around here!!!

Nap time

Today Jett was feeling really good!
You know when you have a sick kid and they stay home from school you give them pain meds and all of the sudden they are bouncing off the walls. So you try to decide which is better not feeling good and laying around, or feeling better and not holding still? Don't get me wrong I am so glad he is feeling so good:) He just forgets he has a huge metal thing on his head that hurts when he is not on drugs:)

There's no place like home!!

Jett is sooo happy to be home even if he has to sleep at the end of Mom and Dad's bed!!
Its been a long day we came home to dinner from wonderful friends and tons of wonderful gifts to keep him busy and comfortable. (Thank you )
Jett is also clean he was able to wash his hair and does he ever smell good.
I am so grateful for all of the thoughts and prayers in our behalf, I know that it because of them he is doing so well.
Thanks!!

Coming HOME!

HOORAY!!
Jett's been released
almost exactly 48 hours since
his check in time.
...

I know he doesn't look happy, but
I talked to him and he can't wait to
come home.
I'd like to say it's because he missed me...
but it's the XBOX that is his #1 love!
He's still going to have to endure
a bunch of "yucky" kisses from
his Auntie!

BREAKING NEWS!

Nicole sent me this text just moments ago...
She said "we escaped our room!"
***
I'm thinking this halo could be a new trend,
Jett makes it look pretty cool.

48 Hour Update...

Nicole is pretty busy keeping Jett happy
so she asked me to give a quick update.
Last night Jett's heart had some irregular
beats, so they ran some tests but couldn't find
a specific cause. The nurses and doctors are
keeping a close eye on him and he will probably
come home with a 24 hour heart monitor.
His pain has been a little more tolerable today and
the swelling has pretty much hit max capacity.
This morning he was so excited to get a little taste
of some warm cream of wheat and orange juice. -YUM-
He was also happy to have a quick bath.
Jett is so anxious to come home.
If everything goes as planned they will put
on the front attachment to his halo in the morning,
and he should be released shortly after...
...
Nicole wanted me to express how grateful she is to
have so much support from friends and family.
We are all so thankful for modern medicine, but
especially for our Heavenly Fathers
TENDER MERCIES!
Jett your strength AMAZES us all! Love your Auntie...

Today's HAPPY Moment...

No matter how it gets in the mouth
a strawberry shake still tastes AMAZING!
Jett kept a lot more food down today.
His pain levels have been a little harder to
manage, but partly because he is so tough
and waits to tell us he's in pain untill it's
almost unbearable.
I'm starting to figure out the time line a
little better so we can just keep him
as comfortable as possible.
