Jalen is feeling better after being diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth, still lots of congestion but the excessive drooling and not eating is subsiding. Jalen now is 30.5 inches tall and weighs 22 lbs 11oz so he is in the 25th percentile for weight (as usual) and 38th percentile for height (who would have thought he was closer to average to height than weight!)
Last weekend Hilary and Matt came to visit and we had so much fun, although Jalen was very fussy and drooling like a "mastiff" as Matt pointed out.
Yesterday Jason's dad (Jim O'Neal aka: Boompa) had surgery on his neck (a laminectomy on his cervical spine, C3, C5, and C6) to increase the space around the spinal cord and alleviate some of his pain, numbness in tingling and further issues with potential cord compression. He is at Mercy Gilbert Hospital right now and should be going home by the weekend. I told the PT's there that I used to work with to be extra nice to him so hopefully they are. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Well below are some pictures and videos from recently, Jalen was dancing all over the place right before I got my camera to tape it and of course decided to just stare at the tv when I wanted to get him dancing but he does do a little performane here so enjoy! Usually he tries to dance like Goofy on here so if you've seen the show (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) you'd understand.
