The end of March30th

There isn't much to update from earlier. Jake has been amazing all day. He hasn't been running crazy fevers and his vitals have been steady all day. The doctor came in this morning and checked on him again. He tested for signs for response. When he grabbed Jake's toe his knee did twitch. However, we don't know if this was a response from the brain or the spinal cord. We are looking for signs from the brain. Today we started feeding Jake through a feeding tube. This feeding tube is not long-term but we will talk about a long term feeding tube in the future.
Jake is off one of his three blood pressures medicines and is where it should be. Ideally, we would like to get him off all of the blood pressure medicines.
Jake did develop thrush in his mouth which is a simple infection often found in babies. Jake most likely developed this from a steroid that he is on. Very easy to treat.
Jake did get a head CT today, which we were unaware that he was going to have. We talked to the ICU doctor (NOT Jake's neurosurgeon) and she went over the CT scan. It basically just showed the swelling in Jake's brain and the area of the brain that has been effected from the aneurysm. We will have more information tomorrow when we go over the head CT with the neurosurgeon. Today and tonight has been peaceful and we are continuing to pray.
We love you Jake.
