Heading Home


We got cleared by the doctor this morning to head home today. Jayden had a bit of difficulties coming off his oxygen yesterday after the bronchoscopy, but finally was able to and as soon as we have our new consult about his new breathing treatment, we can get discharged.

We have finally been able to effectively rule out several serious issues and we are going to try this therapy and see where that leaves us for awhile. They think overall we may just chalk it all up to weak lungs that have difficulties clearing mucus, are hypersensitive and hopefully he will grow out of it.

As far as his weight, they said it still doesn't explain his issues with the weight, but we will just have to keep an eye on it, continue the feeding tube and hope the new therapy helps his lungs function easier and, in turn, helps him use the extra calories to play catch-up a little.

Thanks for all who have helped and all the prayers. As always, they have been deeply appreciated!

Ria, I'm so glad you're heading how with Jayden. It sounds promising -- sorry he has to stay on the feeding tube, but hopefully it won't be too much longer. We love all of you!
