Jer - Day 3

notice: he is without an IV for a few minutes~ I think he liked the freedom!

Thank you for your prayers last night. Jeremiah did not throw up last night and therefore did not have to have the tube put into his stomach!

The new IV is finally in! Now he can sleep in peace.

When I arrived at 10:00a.m. this morning, I could hear him crying as I came down the hall. His IV had worked itself out last night and they moved it to the other arm. By morning his arm was swollen and they had to move it to a new location. They just couldn't find a good vein. After 4 attempts, each attempt left him with several new "holes" in his arms, hands or feet, they finally succeeded. It was 1:30 p.m.

After some pain medication and train "crashing" I was able to coax a smile out of him.

Jeremiah was really happy that they finally got it in!

I took his train tracks today and he had lots of fun lining up all his cars and trains, as well as crashing the trains into the cars.

He did not eat or drink anything all day. At 7:00 p.m. the Doctor allowed him to try drinking again. James just told me that he has given him a little tea. PRAY that his intestines are working now and that he won't start throwing up.
James came to switch places with me for the night so Daniel and Hannah got to say "Hi" to Jer.

If all goes well tonight tomorrow he can start trying to eat jello and broth again.
