Wednesday April 27th update





Tiff was discharged yesterday. They had to leave Rj behind which was so hard im sure. He is in the NICU getting antobiotics. This morning they are putting a central line in because his veins keep collapsing. This way they will not have to keep poking him. They will keep this line in the rest of the time he is at the hospital.
At this point they think the seizures are coming from the meningitis. He is on anti seizure medicine. They are hoping that once the meningitis is under control the seizures will stop. We hope this is sooner rather then later.
Tiff has been pumping breast milk so rj can still get breast milk through a feeding tube. He is very tired all the time from all of the medicine that they have been giving him to keep him sedated. However, tiff was saying that hopefully in a couple of days he wont have to be on the sedation medicine so she can go in every couple of hours and breast feed him. That will be so good for her and RJ when that happens.

The good news is that he is still gaining weight. He is such an adorable little chunker. He is being such a little trooper in the NICU. Tiff and aaron have to rotate going in there whenever they can to see him. And sage can't go back there so someone always has to be with her.
This is the update for now! ill post again when there is more information. Love ya thygersons!
