Jax has been returned to "NPO" ... no food or water by mouth. (He was later allowed clear fluids.) He needs to poop. Docs want to see his poops normalize, and see him use his legs to stand and support himself, and hopefully take some steps. He's lost a lot of muscle tone from the meds, and has therefore lost confidence in his previous athletic prowess. He has had his last dose of the steroid DEX, and so as that wears out of his system, his appetite, activity level, and attitude should begin to improve. The struggle right now is that he needs to move to help the poop move, and because of the abdominal sensitivity, he's hesitant to move! He has been very cranky and sad that he is not allowed to eat what he wants. Please pray specifically for this today!
Our older boys are on the ferry with Oma, on their way to see us for today and tomorrow!
