Jadon was able to breath without the aid of the BiPAP machine this afternoon. X-ray shows his left lung has cleared. His vitals are near normal but tend to fluctuate as some medications are administered. He is still unable to talk but can answer yes/no questions. More chemotherapy is scheduled tomorrow. He is being fed a non-dairy version of a nutritional supplement to verify digestional tract functionality before being allowed to eat. His liver, spleen and gallbladder are still enlarged and, as a result,are only marginally functioning. As a result, some areas of his skin have a faint yellow tint. The hope is they will continue to heal and function normally once he begins to eat again. He is also receiving a small dose of insulin due to his high glucose levels. This is expected to be temporary though. His overall well-being is still very fragile and weak. He is showing improvements in very small steps.
Father Novak paid him a visit this afternoon to check his progress and prayed with the family.
Please keep Jadon in your prayers as he travels down this difficult path.
