Update on J.B. 2

I know that I have mentioned the staff at SRHS NICU, but I just want to praise them again for the wonderful care that they give the babies in the unit. J.B. is making progress as his numbers are starting to look better in the blood work. They finally were able to send off more blood work to determine the problem. We, as parents, will have to keep tabs on him that he stays alert, eats well, and does all the stuff a baby loves to do. As of this morning, he was doing all of these. The doctor wants to monitor him over the weekend, get blood work back, and if all goes well, we will go home with him on Monday. He has been put on sodium chloride (salt pill) and another medication which is basically a steroid (the good kind). For those that will want to see our bundle of joy, when you come to our house, you must wash your hands!!! His little body is already having to build immunity but also the steroid is suppressing his immune system. We love you all, but we love our little boy most.
