We had a long night last night. Poor Jordan he was running a fever at 12 midnight and was really fussy. I knew he is going to get sick again. So we rushed him to the PICU. They did blood culture and urince culture...ofcourse Jordan wasn't happy with all the needles. We almost finish about 6 am and went back to our room when doctors started doing their rounds, Jordan was up all night until 8 am! He started shievering and his temp spiked up 104. Oh gush another infection is back.
We gave him Tylenol to help his fever go down and as soon as he settled in he went to sleep. Right now doctor said that the culture seems like their is bacteria growing and they suspect it might the E.Coli but we will find out deffinitely tomorrow.
Two hours later and Jordan is feeling better. He is back to his normal activities...cooing, crawling and standing up. This boy is really amazing!
Story of Short Bowel Syndrome
- Leon Jordan
- We dedicate this site for our son who is a fighter and our everyday miracle! Baby Leon Jordan was born on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 12:33 a.m 36 wks. Born with gastroschisis, unfortunately, the small intestine (which absorbs all of the nutrients for the body) that was on the outside of his skin had twisted and had died (15cm were left). He has also a micro colon which is smaller than his small bowel. After 5 months in the hospital he is finally home with us! He started using the Omegaven when he was 3 months old and it works amazing! He's bilirubin level is now noraml. On July 16, he had a surgery to revision his ostomoy and to reconnect his small and large bowel at UCLA Hospital. To all our family, friends and doctors... Thank you so much for all your support, understanding and prayers you showered to us. Without you all we wouldn't be strong as we have right now. Please continue to pray for him, it works!

Hi, It's Ryan's mom. I have been looking for Leon's blog since you posted on Carter's. What a cutie-pie. I will catch up on the blog when Ryan and the rest of the family is asleep. So sorry Leon is feeling crummy. No fun being inpatient. I am glad to see Tylenol helped. Hoping for a classification of the bug and the right antibiotics ordered!!! Take care,
Katrina Nagy
