Morning news:
Jake is medically doing well but had a very uncomfortable night. They are unable to give him much pain medication because when they do he breathes too shallow and infrequent so he us quite uncomfortable. We have to keep waking him up and reminding him to breath deep.
He blew out two of his IVs during the night.
The CT scan that they did yesterday evening came back looking just fine. He has a pocket of air in his head that they are watching. They are giving him oxygen full time – they said that will help the air pocket to absorb sooner.
Physically he had a bandage covering the full length of the back of his neck up to the crown of his head. He also has 2-4 staples in the sides of his head where they had his head bolted during surgery. He has an arterial IV and two vein IVs.
Afternoon news by Tammy:
He is having ups and downs today, but they have been doing pretty good about keeping the pain in control. He went for an MRI and the news was great on that. I assume that is good news about hydrocephalus. Still air in their though. He hates the oxygen mask and complains constantly about it. He’s doing about as well as he could be. From here on out it should be up hill (well at least we hope). We will get pathology report in a couple of days that will tell us more about the tumor. Thinking positively though.

I am so glad that the MRI is looking positive and that the pain is more manageable. Wow, I bet it is hard to watch your child be in so much pain and not be able to take it away. We are still constantly praying for you. Mark and Lisa
