Jack, Back in the Hospital!

Well the second week of March brought us back to Primary Childrens Hospital. If you ever have a small child with some health issues, and you don't go to a "Childrens Hospital", your crazy! If I knew what I know now... I would have driven Kimberly up to Primary Childrens Hospital for the baby birth. Primary Childrens Hospital in Salt Lake is incredible!

Well a cold, just the common cold sent us to the hospital with Jack. It just makes you want to say, ENOUGH ALREADY.... he's just a baby! We walked into the Hospital like we owned the place. We threw our bags on the floor, turned on the TV, and put our feet up. The place, sadly, was a home away from home to us.

Having Down Syndrome, Jack has an extra Chromosome in every cell of his body. These cells help make up every organ and tissue he has. Our bodies are just not made to run off an extra Chromosome. This extra Chromosome brings a higher risk of just about everything including, heart murmur, congestive heart faillar, and leukemia... just to name a few. These health worries were knew to Kimberly and I.
Kimberly was having a little panic attack being back in the hospital. The last time she walked into this place, she ended up spending two months inside. The kids on the other hand, could not wait to get to the Forever Young Play Zone at the hospital. This is a fun place, and the arts and crafts can't be beat. The kids helped get Jack settled, then ran off to play at the zone. Above is the jet packs they made, and wore proudly all through the hospital.

Two days later, we left the hospital. Jack was on Oxygen, but we were out. The worries of a long stay behind us, we took jack home. A week later he was playing above and in great shape. He is just the coolest little dude you have ever met!
