Jake got sent back home to Utah Valley with the help of Dr. Gerday and Dr. Carver (the eye doctor) at utah Valley!!! I can't thank them enough! It took a lot of calls and complaints from all of us, but we were not being treated ok there and more importantly, Jake didn't need to be there anymore! All that they could do that was special to PC was done, therefore he had no reason to stay!
I will update more tonight but for now I want everyone to know how happy and thankful we are to be back to Utah Valley and out of Primary Childrens! Yesterday when I got to the hospital Jake was actually being cuddled by Keri, and sucking happily on a binky and it was the greatest sight ever!!! He is even getting milk from a syringe when ever he needs to feel a bit of extra comfort and HE LOVES IT! He just licks his lips after the drops go in and looks at us like "Come on! Give me more!!!"
But it's not just Keri, it's everyone! We love and are thankful for you ALL!!! You don't know how good it feels for Rory and I to know that all the nurses and RT's just love Jakey and go out of their way to make Jake feel happy and comfortable without taking the easy way out and pumping him full of drugs! In fact Jake was completely content today and didn't require any extra PRN doses of any drugs! What a relief. I know that Jake left Primary's hooked on methadone and morphine. And I know that it is going to take a while to get him back to himself, but I also know that Dr. Gerday and Dr. Minton and the rest of the Dr.'s at Utah Valley are the guys that can do it!!!
We trust you all! Thank you so much!
(next best thing about September 17th is that Utah beat BYU!) It's a good thing that Jake got transferred back that night at 9:00, because it kind of softened the blow for Rory!
He's about the size of a dollar bill

We felt exactly the same way when we were at Primary. And we had to beg to get back to UVRMC. We LOVE everyone there. Tell them Hi. Jake looks great! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
