Jetty is back at Hopkins. We are not in the NICU. We are on the Infants and Toddlers floor. He is not gaining weight and is dehydrated. They couldn't even get an IV into his tiny veins because they are very weak. They are pumping him full of fluids now to get him hydrated. Then they are going to take A LOT of blood to do many different tests to see why he is not gaining weight. They tried several times to get the IV in him before they had to call down to the NICU to have them send someone up who has the experience with such little arms and legs.
The nurse in the NICU who received the IV request must have recognized the name because a lot of the NICU nurses and Doctors came up to the 6th floor to visit with Jetty. The 6th floor nurses couldn't believe how popular Jetty is with the Hopkins staff. Hopefully they will find the right formula and let him come home soon.

well he is in the right place to get the help he needs. I am still praying for him, you and Jamie every night. Megan (my 8 year old) thinks Jetty is a celebrity because he has his own web site and gets so many visitors! And it is true, he does have many adoring fans!! Keep us posted, Jeni & Megan (Presidents of the Jetty Fan Club) lol !!
Thinking of you guys. Hoping Jetty gains so weight.
Awww-that must have hurt getting poked for the IV so many times! They'll get you fixed up in no time Jetty. XOXOX Megan & Casey
I have faith that the Hopkins team is going to get our Mr. Jetty on a good formula so he can be back home.
