Update from Laurie, March 15, 2010

















Well Jack has been a tough little guy once again today. He did great all day and is still just so strong. He makes us laugh all day and always keeps us smiling. He got a little sick to his stomach this evening, but within minutes he was back to his old self again.

Jack has become very interested in all the equipment that they have here. He has learned what a stethoscope is and wants to listen to everyones heart and see if they are ok. He knows how to work the blood pressure machine and helps the nurses when it comes time to take his vitals. After he is done, he checks the nurses and then Zac's. He calls himself Dr. Jack. Zac told him he was sick today and asked Jack what he should get to make himself better and Jack recommended chemo...who would have ever thought that our little boy would even know any of this. In one way it is just amazing and reminds us how smart he is and in another it makes us sad that he even knows. It just confirms though what we have always known...Jack is smarter than us.

As for Bradens' appointment today....our little chunky boy now weighs in at 9 lb 6 oz. He has gained almost a pound in 5 days so the Dr's are extremely happy. His murmur is still the same as it was when he was born, but hopefully it will end up closing on it's own since he is growing at such a great rate and getting stronger every day.
