Hello everyone. It is with incredibly great sadness to say this. Our sweet, cat loving boy, Jaxon, went peacefully in our arms on Sunday, September 3rd at 611pm. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has followed his beautiful journey and provided support. He surely felt everyone's love. 💕

Jax has continued to have stable-ish days. He is still extremely critical, and all we can do is sit and wait. He remains in multiple organ failure and is quite jaundiced. His wounds are not healing, and we continue to run into multiple bumps. We've been staying overnight with Jax all week. Despite all this, he still gives the odd smile and communicates the best he can. He loves his water sponges 💕

We had a stable day. 💕

Please keep thinking of our boy Jax, as he fights to climb yet another mountain. He has declined again, just like over the weekend. All we can do is be here with him and watch him fight another fight.

Love you little buddy. 💕

Just a rest day today. 💕

Jax is out of surgery, and all went well - they got to close up his abdomen completely! He had a hernia repaired as well (I originally thought it was a risk for later, but we just got word that there was a repair!)

Jax is heading down to the OR for what feels like the 100th time. They will see how his open abdomen wound is doing and hopefully either fully or at least partially close it. Overall, he has surprised us all and fought through one of the most horrendous weekends in a lifetime. He was doing well today. 💕

Happy 3rd birthday, little man 💕

He made it through the night with some small struggles, like with his blood pressure, but so far, so good.

Update: the first procedure went well; they were able to stop the bleeding. However, his abdomen was full of blood and fluid. I've never felt his stomach so taut before. The first idea was to do an ultrasound guided procedure to put a drain in, but they found the blood had already coagulated and the only option was to go in surgically, which is not what was wanted due to the significant risk.

We discussed it with one of the docs, and decided to at least try. If we did nothing, he would not make it. At least by going in surgically to remove the clots, he will have a chance. That being said , we are still at a huge risk of him not making through this, as he now has another open wound and, in the past few months, he has really struggled with healing.

He went down to the OR for a second time this evening, where the successfully removed a lot of the clots. He looks good colourwise, his numbers, and the swelling. We just have to wait and see how he recovers. He currently has a second open wound vac and has plans of going back to the OR on Monday to do a wash out and hopefully close his stomach wound; provided he heals okay in the next 72 hours.

Jax is down in the OR now. This morning, things went downhill very quickly; they did a CT angio scan and found a main artery to his stomach had ruptured, and he's bleeding out into his abdomen. The prognosis is not good, it's a catastrophic bleed in a tricky spot. There is one procedure they are willing to try, which is going in through an artery like a cath procedure and blocking off the bleed. This has risks, of course, but its worth trying. Open surgery is not an option as he will not survive it.

It has been a whirl wind of a week. Jaxon continues to battle necrotizing pancreatitis and has been needing insulin. The team consulted for a couple of days; there were plans of going in surgically to remove the pancreas, but given how critical Jax is, the risk of death was too great. They are monitoring it for now and will see if there's enough viable pancreas for it to be fine or if it will liquidize, in which case he would be insulin dependent for life.

Yesterday was easily one of the top most terrifying days. The dialysis catheter in his neck was having troubles, again, but this time, they had to rewire it. Unfortunately, this did not go as planned, and he began to lose a lot of blood. Surgeons were called to come and assess. In the end, he got fixed up by the amazing doctors up in PCICU, received some blood products, and the new line is working better than ever. Due to the dialysis being off and needing blood products, he got insanely swollen like the first pic.
Today, the swelling has come down some, and his infection markers continue to come down! Tomorrow, we prep to decorate his room for his 3rd birthday on Sunday. 💕
