An Update of Progress

To update Jayden's progress from birth to present...at age 2 weeks, we spent the weekend in ICU at St.Peter's University Hospital, New Brunswick, NJ for severe diarrhea. Jayden, some how contracted a rota-virus. She was admitted when a heart murmur was detected and hooked up to an IV. Pure devastation flew thru me as I heard my little angle screaming as the nurses put the catheter into her tiny hand. Up in the ICU she was further hooked up to a heart monitor and blood pressure cuff...the next three days were torturous (for mommy) as much if not more than Jayden. By Sunday afternoon all was well and discharged...

Over the next weeks she began to become animated! Jayden was soon recognizing sounds and faces, trying to imitate mommy and daddy's expressions, and growing. The next battle was with formula...Jayden developed reflux and terrible gas. It took a few trys but we found that Isomil Soy formula made all the problems virtually disappear!! She was back to being a happy little baby!

Mommy went back to work just after Independence Day and somehow Jayden began sleeping thru the night! How awesome was that!!

Since then, Jayden has learned how to roll over both ways, laughs outloud, grabs and plays with her toys, pretend coughs to get your attention, plays in the exersaucer--and her best friend is Curious George...we don't go anywhere without George!!

Jayden is now 4 months old and growing like crazy!
