They told me from the day that I gave birth that there would be good days and bad days. Today was a tough day for us. The NICU doctor at CHOC Mission Hospital (CHOC=Children's Hospital Orange County) decided it might be best to transfer Jay to the main CHOC hospital in Orange. It's much bigger and has a more specialized staff.

I was in tears pretty much the whole day. I was so glad Joe was with me I don't think I could have made it through this day alone. Once we consented to the transfer, Jay was transported in a special CHOC vehicle that had a doctor, two nurses and a respiratory therapist. So he was in good hands.

Once he was at the new hospital they had him stabilized pretty quickly. He even has his own little room. By the time we left his side he seemed very peaceful which made us happy.

Right now our goal is for his lungs to improve. And to get him off the oscillating ventilator. We appreciate all of you keeping Jay in your prayers.

I'm sorry you guys had such a stressful day. I hope today is better for you. Little man having his own private room certainly sounds like a much comfier situation for your family.

I will be thinking about you guys this holiday season.

Ana,

Jay is in my constant prayers. I'm glad they're taking such good care of him. It may seem like a small thing but I loved that Sydney had her own room in the early days. Everything is soo very scary and you really appreciate the privacy.

Have hope sweetie. Jay is a fighter.
