Happy Easter!
We were so glad to have Jayden home from the hospital and breathing alright again. Later in the day, Jayden and I took off for our trip back to the Lou. Jim and Ethan will join us later this week.

Yeah - A Trip
So Jayden has been cleared to head to St. Louis as long as his condition is the same as it is now or better, so it looks like we'll be able to come. We'll just have to be extra careful so he doesn't contract anything else.

The doctors just cleared Jayden for going home from the hospital. We still don't know about our trip, but at least he is going home for Easter:). Thanks for all the prayers and love. We will keep everyone updated.

Another Night....
Well, he had to go back on oxygen for awhile and so we're staying the night. He's back off it again, so hopefully he has a good night and we can head home tomorrow. Only time will tell. Not much else news. His CF test is scheduled for a couple weeks from now, but they will have the results 24 hours after it is performed, which is good. Until then, we hope to get a bit more rest.
Read more...No More Oxygen!
So Jayden decided he didn't want his oxygen anymore and took it out early this morning. The nurses laughed and let him go, and this time his oxygen levels didn't go down too much, which is a great sign. The doctor said if he can keep this up throughout the day, we may get to go home.
His doctor said he definitely is asthmatic (really, you think;)?? They are trying to get him in for the sweat test this morning to test for cystic fibrosis, but if he can't get in this morning and he gets released, we will come back for that as an outpatient.
The prayers are great and he has been getting a lot of rest, especially since Ethan can't climb into his crib or poke him every minute of the day.

Some News
So we have some good"ish" news. Jayden did test positive for a virus and hopefully that explains everything. We are hoping that means he's just been a somewhat unlucky little boy who hasn't had enough time to really build up his immune system and not signaling some more serious possibilites.
They are still looking at a few other things and haven't tested him for cystic fibrosis yet, which they will be doing in the next day or so. We are praying that comes back negative, but it is a possibility and we need to check into it. So at least we will know after he is tested.
Keep the prayers coming. They said if they can get him off of oxygen, he may be able to leave tomorrow, so we'll see.
Update on Jayden
Well, he's doing ok, but they had to put him on oxygen overnight to stabilize him more. His oxygen levels were getting too low as he slept. We'll see how he does with/without it today. Today they are looking at many underlying causes for his never-ending breathing issues and we'll see what all the "experts" can come up with. In the meantime, it's just a lot fo waiting. Thanks for the prayers and keep them coming.
Read more...Back For Another Round
I will update the blog when we get info.... As always, prayers are greatly appreciated.
Jayden is in the hospital again. Pleas say prayers they can help him and get to the bottom of his breathing problems. He is having chest xrays and a lot of PT, deep suctioning, etc. and will be staying for at least tonight. In his current state, he is not able to fly and will not be able to travel. They said they think with some effective treatments, that should change, but we just have to see.
We will have more updates later...hopefully this is a short stay:)
Love,

Trouble Times Two
Jim's aunt gave the boys these matching outfits and so we decided we need some cute pictures with them.
That smile looks like Ethan's up to something....
Sometimes Ethan tackles Jayden and you can tell Jayden's just in for the ride and not sure what to do.
Jayden's Big Smile
So cute....right after a bath.
Trying out the high chair. He's not old enough to eat real food yet, but he wants to be at the table during dinner and gets upset when he can't be.
Dancing around in the bath tub!

Ethan and Jayden on the Go
Jayden's still a little small for the Exersaucer, but Ethan loves it when he spends some time in there and is eager to share his toys.
Jayden is getting ready to take off....
Ethan and Jayden on our couch ....
High tech Ethan ...
So this is our last post of the day... we're catching up from the last few weeks.
Jayden's New Friend
Jayden has been sucking his thumb and loves his doggie blanket Aunt Jen and Uncle Tony gave him.
Ethan's First Haircut
I refused to even take him to a barber since he has so little hair, but he had random strands of hair that was a good inch or two past his ears or down his neck past the hairline so we evened it out.
Here is the before:
and here is the after:
Yes, I know there is little difference. I think I'll have to label the photos just so I remember which is before and which is after:)
