The next couple of days were hard but also good. His heart murmur could no longer be heard and we have never heard it since. His bowel started to work. I have never been so excited to see a baby poop in my whole life. He started to nurse a couple of times a day. His rash would come and go as his white blood cell count got higher or lower. The doctors said he had Myelophroliferative Blood Disorder which makes him more susceptible to leukemia.
On our 12th day at LDS Hospital Little Man decided to stop breathing. It was probably the scariest moment in my whole life as I watched them try to get him to start breathing again. Eventually he did start to breath but he had some internal bleeding and his spline was enlarged. At 5:00am we received a call that he has stopped breathing again. They let us know that they were transferring him to Primary Children's Medical Center.
We stayed at PCMC for another 2 weeks where they were able to give him some antibiotics to help stabilize him. We were able to take our Little Man home on Feb. 3, 2009. That was a great day!!! Because of the blood disorder we have had to watch his white blood cell count through blood tests. The doctors gave him a 25% chance of developing leukemia in early childhood but so far so good.
We received so many blessing that month that Little Man was in the hospital and saw Heavenly Fathers love for us. We are so grateful for our Little Man and have loved every minute with him.
