Fighter Pilots UNITE!!!

We need more Jett power from our Fighter Pilots  As much as we want answers, please message this page and not Eva and Travis. I am sure that their phones are constantly going off and as much as they want to answer all of the messages, I am sure it is overwhelming on top of the stress of a very sick baby. That is why this page was created- to keep everyone in the loop. We will post an update as SOON as we know something. The doctors are doing everything that they can to help Jett overcome this hurdle. ~Jennifer

Early Saturday morning we were informed that Jett was not doing so well. He became very lethargic, his heart rate was abnormally high and his skin was very pale. After a few tests that were ran doctors confirmed that Jett has an infection of the intestines, causing bloody urine and stool. There is a possibility that Jett could have something called, Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). We are hoping and praying that this is not the case and only a small infection, something that can be compared to the 'stomach flu' but in the intestines. Right now Jett is being given three types of antibiotics to help fight the potential infection as well as keep him comfortable and pain free.
At this point, Jett will not be fed for at least 7 days. Instead a 'sugar water' with nutrients through an IV will be given. This will allow his intestines and bowels to rest and if infected, recover. If NEC happens to be in his intestines, it will require immediate surgery to remove the dead tissue.
Jett was also re-intubated and is back to breathing along with the breathing ventilator. We know that Jett can now breath on his own, but the less work he has to do, the less calories he burns and the faster he can recover.

We are so thankful for the prayers, and at this point we know is the only thing that will heal him.
