2 Weeks Old

Mar 15 2012 Published by under Second Week

Today is Jack’s 2 Week Birthday! He weighs just over 1 kilo (2.2 pounds). He is being fed 10ml of breast milk every four hours (through that little stomach tube).

He had a PICC line put in, and his umbilical arterial line was removed (so now his umbilical lines are completely disconnected).

He will be on antibiotics for two weeks for cholangitus that was causing liver dysfunction.

He had his first “bath” yesterday, which made him very unhappy!

A friend from Jerry’s days in PNG took the other kids to the art museum, and we were able to go out for lunch and get a few things we needed.

We’re currently staying in a hotel near the hospital that provides two free nights a week for us. The older siblings get to swim in the pool and Isaiah loves to ride the hospital shuttle! We’ll put pictures up tomorrow when we get back to the other house.
