Update

Jason with his boy. Please note the size difference. :o)
Some flowers I got from Becky and BJ. The pink one is for me, and the blue ones are for my boy. Something about the amazing vibrance from these flowers makes me really happy. And hopeful.
My little one sleeping on his left side- so as to collapse his lung.
I love this one. When we go visit Hazen, the whole time, I take his little hand (this, by the way is NOT my hand), and I hold it. Yesterday, I had one sweaty ring finger. Totally worth it though. Look at those hands, aren't they dreamy? NEWSFLASH: Everything about my boy is completely dreamy.

Funny story- I'll take whatever I can get, but I was standing by his bed the other day, and all of a sudden, a gush of liquid fell on my foot. I was really confused, but looked down, and saw this yellow container. I asked the nurse if he by chance had a catheter- he does. MY BOY PEED ON MY FOOT!!!! WEEEHOO! Now, I ask you to refer to earlier posts by me where I complained of my fear of being peed on by a boy. My oh my, how things can change!

Anyway. Monday update- He's been on his left side again for over 24 hours. They took another X Ray, and his left lung is completely collapsed. (A good thing). The air pockets are gone, so they're going to leave him on his side for another 24-48 hours so that the lungs can heal more. This is improvement, and that makes me happy. In other news though, there is a vessel that is located right above his heart. While he was in my belly, it was ok that the vessel was open, but it should have closed by now. It hasn't, so they're going to give him medication that only has a 30-40% success rate for getting the job done. They can administer 3 doses a round, which are all 24 hours apart. So, in 76 hours, they will reevaluate to see if any progress has been made. If it's fixed, then YAY!!! If SOME progress has been made, but not all, then they can do one more round of 3 doses each. If no progress has been made, or if after the 2 round it's still not fixed, then it looks like surgery.

So, faithful blog readers: Your job, if you choose to accept it, is to join with us in some dilligent prayers that Hazen will be one of the 30-40% for which this medicine helps. I know that faith is the one thing that is going to get us all through this specific trial in our lives, and I can't tell you how much all of your support means to me. I know that my baby will be ok one day, and when it comes, I can't tell you how much each time I can hold him, and kiss him, and see his sweet face will mean to me.
