We made it through the night after a scary beginning. Jackson fever spiked to 103 at about 8:30 and took awhile to come down. Early this morning the nurse put him on an IV drip because he didn’t eat or drink much yesterday or last night. The good news (drum role please) is his fever has finally dropped!!! Our goal today is for him to take in fluids on his own so he doesn’t need the IV, and to get off of the Oxygen by maintaining a good level!
Right now he is sleeping. Seems to be sleeping ok but everything is still hooked up to him. We will have to wait and see how he responds without those things. We are still waiting on the swab test they took yesterday to see if he picked up a virus.
Stephanie and I are very tired! Personally, I feel like I have been hit by a bus, a big bus at that. We are trying to get sleep when Jackson sleeps at night. Last night I think everyone got about 5-6 hours since Jackson slept for that long without waking up. Lucky for us Stephanie’s mom came to town and is watching Josiah.
Thanks for all the prayers and please continue to pray for us!
