Yesterday, Jack and I were moved from our horrid room with roommates to a fabulous private room with its own bathroom! Before I was just using a public restroom, and now I can even shower right here in my room! I'm so happy! Jack and I listened to music, danced around, and spoke at a normal volume (as opposed to our roommate-conscious whisper) to celebrate.
Other Jack news- he now has one feeding tube going into his nostril and down to his intestine, and another tube going into his other nostril and going into his stomach. He got the second tube yesterday to see if he could tolerate feedings into his stomach. We're hoping that the muscles are all working and doing the important job of keeping food down. If he doesn't have reflux, then they'll remove the tube going into his intestine sometime today. The doctor told me that if everything goes well this week we can talk this weekend about formulating an exit plan. Yippee!

I can't believe you've been sharing a room this whole time! That's awful. I'm so glad to hear you have your own room now. What a difference, I'm sure! When MJ was in the hospital for only one night, we got our own room. I think hospitals work very differently out east than in the west.
I hope the second feeding tube goes smoothly!!! Keep us posted. Thank you for the updates :)
We love you!
Yea hoo for you! For so many reasons. A public restroom? Jessie, you're joking. Please say you're joking.
I continue to think of you guys as examples of optimism and a sense of humor amidst tremendous difficulty. I think you should make your landlord put in a whirlpool Jacuzzi, free of charge, for your reward for too long without your own bathroom...

Talk about a crazy month for you! I'm so sorry for everything your little family has had to go through-poor little Jack! He's a trooper....and now a cold or ear infection in the future won't even phase either one of you!!! Hope he gets to leave soon-thank goodness for good insurance plans!! Good luck. Love you guys.
Hi - this is Sheri Anderson from the ward. I am so happy about your private room and thrilled that Jack is continually improving. You're in our prayers continually :) PS Very cute blog - what a beautiful family!
