Never a Dull Moment

Jack must have had some nostalgia over his first days of life this week because right now we're sitting in the ICU at CCMC. Jack's sedated and being given oxygen because he can't get enough oxygen when breathing on his own. Sound familiar?

After many tests the doctors are thinking he has a virus that has caused mucus to go down into his lungs and he has been unable to clear the congestion himself. He's being given antibiotics just for good measure and they're keeping him sedated so he won't pull the oxygen mask off his face, which he spent all day yesterday doing. They're going to try him on room air later and see if he's able to get enough oxygen that way. I guess it's up to him when he gets to go home!
