Shots and Things

Today I had to take Jaxson to the cardiologist for his Synagis shot. It help keeps him from getting pneumonia. He's been getting them once a month since November and will continue through to March.

Unfortunately he lost weight. He pretty much weighs the same as he did a month ago, after gaining 9 ounces 2 weeks ago.

We also scheduled his heart cath surgery. It will be done on February 6th. He has to stop eating 4 hours prior, then he will be sedated for 2-3 hours (!!!!!!) while they do the heart cath, followed by 6 hours recovery. It will be late after that, so they will probably keep him overnight. I will of course, never leave his side.

After all that, they will schedule his heart surgery. I am so scared. I'm trying to learn to be strong. I have to be strong for him.

Jaxson inspires me. He has already been through so much, yet nothing keeps him down. He is always so happy. I love that the most common question I get is "Is he always so happy?" yes, yes he is. And I love it.

Now it's time to curl up with my sleeping cutie, who is sleeping away the pain from his shot and a head cold.
