Moving Day


We're all moved to the 15th floor! He seemed to enjoy getting to see all of us in his new room, including Elijah. Jack also ate about 13 grapes this morning. Please pray that he will be able to keep those down and that we can get him up for a bowel movement sometime today. He learned today how to push the buttons on his bed to make his head and knees move up and down, so that's helping him stay a little more content. And he was actually interested enough in the idea that we gave him a new Duplo bus to play with. Right now his bus is watching him eat a few bites of pineapple and some vanilla pudding. He was very happy to get to take the oxygen out when we moved as well. His oxygen saturation is still not quite as high as we would like, but it's staying in an acceptable range. Sorry about the not-so-great picture... I knew that y'all would want to see him with no cannula in his nose and check out his new bus. But he's not really interested in smiling and looking at the camera at this point. Maybe we'll get a better one tomorrow. :-)

Looks like he is feeling better already. Glad he got a new room and Elijah can visit. They'll enjoy each other and perhaps tolerate the next few days better. Praying for you all, keep well.

Hey Turners--
I think he looks adorable in the picture! We pray for quick recovery, a good appetite, and rest for you all. Know that we continue to lift Jack up.

Have you seen the pre-sliced school bus cookies in the stores right now? I figure you or Tutu might have seen them. But if not, we would love to bring some by the hospital when Jack is eating more...or we can save them for your house. Praying for his desire to move around, his appetite and good rest...and patience for y'all.
