Home! JT was released from the hospital on Friday afternoon and both he and Jodi were here to greet me when I returned from my class late last night. It was great to see them.
JT is skinny but I was relieved to see him in high spirits.
Jodi is following a nutritional plan for him, slowing increasing his feeds until he’s taking in more and more calories through the G-tube. His D and V episodes are sporadic – we hope that they’ll subside soon so that he can get back on track. In other news, he has recently swallowed a few dry Cheerios, which is huge for him. We do the “swallow dance” and he’s very proud of his progress. This is a journey of baby steps and we celebrate each one.
Jodi and the boys are over at camp tonight and I miss ‘em. I wrap up the graduate class tomorrow and I’m looking forward to being all together soon.
He’s headed back to Cincinnati next week for more infusions, etc. On top of everything else, we’d ask for prayers that he’s able to get his feet back under him in terms of nutrition. Soon. Thanks.
