Bring On The Food...

Jenna is flying in her recovery...it is absolutely amazing. She is now getting Mom's milk at 2 cc's per hour. They will monitor her to see how her little tummy handles food. She has a tube in her nose which goes to her stomach to deliver the goods. Sometimes with the narrow aortic arch, the "gut" is without sufficient blood flow and the first introductions of food can be a little irritating. So far, so good.

Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Jamie, Jimmy, Raymond and Raechel came to see Jenna tonight and we got to spend some much needed time with Jimmy. He was excited to see his little sister and to play with all the things up here for kids. He was especially excited to see the "Nemo" fish in the fish tanks throughout the hospital. Again, these two are going to be a real handful!

My Mom, Dad and sister have been so good to us, being here almost everyday, and taking care of Jimmy. He is going to his favorite babysitter, Terri, so he can have some normalcy while Janice and I are here.

Well, tomorrow brings another day, and Homecoming for the Heralds. Please go out and support our team. Kickoff is 7:00pm at Lakeside Stadium after the homecoming festivities. I am not sure if I can be there, but I know many of the guys have been following the blog. Play hard tomorrow and let's get our first W!!! Congrats to those on the court and good luck to the future King and Queen.

Turning in for the night, so we will update you in the morning. Take care all...

She is beautiful and is no doubt a fighter... Glad she did well with surgery; seems the toughest part is over and we're all praying for her continued improvement. And as far as being petite - good things come in small packages! Can't wait to see her in person...

Love,
Andrea

Janice & Jim,

This blogging thing is wonderful. Keep it up. Now we can keep up with the news without having to bother family and friends. So glad everything is going so well.
She really is a fighter and I am sure she will continue to be a fighter. She is a beautiful little girl and can hardly wait to see her in person.

It's so great to hear how well Jenna is doing! She, as well as the entire family, is in my prayers. God Bless!

Jim: Lauren and I will be at the game tonight cheering on your Heralds.

On a side note: Everything is fine here at work, don't worry. I haven't blown the place up, yet.

Jenna is doing so well for all she has been through in her life so far and I'm sure now that's she's home all will continue to get evben better. We're on our way to Texas, will keep in touch.
