1 week After

It's hard to believe it's been a week already since Jake's impactful hand surgery. This week has been tough as it is so sad to see Jake cry when we know he is in pain. Luckily he has great moments as well where he is a happy smiling boy. As if he didn't have enough to deal with, Jake had to be rushed to urgent care the other night as we noticed little white bumps all over his tongue and roof of his mouth. We have been told it's Thrush a common reaction kids have to antibiotics. So now the very medication he must take is causing him to take another medication to counteract its effects and add to his discomfort. This is going to be one tough kid that's for sure. Jake is sleeping in our room in his carseat attached to his stroller. We hope to slowly be able to transition him back to his bed and get him to sleep in longer intervals. A constant project that we won't force until we feel he is ready. Jake will have a follow-up appt in two weeks to remove his casts and finally experience his new fingers.
Stay tuned.
