Jackson is doing good today.







Hi everyone, Jackson has a had a good couple of days. As I said last time they had been changing his ventilator settings. They went all the way up to 80% oxygen on the ventilator at one point and he still was not saturating his blood as well as they wanted. They finally decided it was the morphine and put that back on its original dose. He was not going through withdrawal, he was just not comfortable with the lower dose. Since they have put his morphine back where it was he has been doing good. They have been able to decrease the ventilator oxygen % from 80% back to 50% . He was doing so good Adam finally got to hold him on Saturday afternoon!!!!!!!!!! He was so awake and alert today it was wonderful. If you looked in his eyes it actually looked like he was having fun. He was squirming all around and just looking at me and Adam. We read him 2 books and he just looked at us. The only bad thing about a day like today is when I look at him he does not look sick and I just want to take him home. I know he is getting better and we will be able to take him home eventually. I am posting some pictures of Adam holding him, Aunt Catherine reading to him, and him being awake. Thanks for reading, and please continue to pray for Jackson, and all the other CDH babies and mommies out there.

Wow, Jackson looks so GREAT!! I'm so glad that things appear to be on an upswing for you guys--we know all about the constant ups and downs.

I'm quite envious that you guys have gotten to hold your beautiful baby but so happy for you! There's nothing like seeing a loving parent holding their child.

And would you believe that Drew is wearing that exact same hat today?!

You and Jackson remain in my thoughts and prayers.
