Jetty's back home!

Mommy said my sweatshirt is too big for me. Daddy said that its supposed to be baggy.

Sunday morning: Jetty is finally up to birthweight of 7.2 lbs. He had some bad seizures last night which required some diastat. They decided to increase is daily dosage of phenobarbital.
If his weight gain continues and his stool continues to be normal, they will let us take him home on Monday or Tuesday.

We went to Bethany Beach for the day two weeks ago to visit the family.

Mommy's lacrosse bud from the Hero's Lacrosse Club stopped in.

The Doctors told us this morning that he has lost weight. He now weighs 6.68lbs which is much less than when we brought him in on Monday.
They are running lots of tests today. They weren't able to draw the blood needed for these tests until yesterday evening due to his blood vessels.

The Lister Cradle

On Sunday evening, Aunt Patsy and Uncle Archie brought us the Lister Cradle for Jetty to have until the next Great-Great Grandchild is born.

Every Great-Grandchild of Henry B. and Mildred Lister have slept in this cradle. Each of them had their names engraved on their own plaque which has been put on the foot board of the cradle.

Olivia, the first great- great grandchild was born a month before Jetty and started a new tradition with this cradle. Jetty's plaque has been ordered.

Updating this blog... they're not making this very easy.

I loooooooooove my Mommy!

Of course Jetty likes the most expensive formula made! Just like his mommy... expensive taste.

Day 2 at Hopkins.

Jetty is starting to feel better after a night of Elecare Formula and Pedialite.

Jetty is back at Hopkins

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.
