More good news








Hi things are still going really good. We learned yesterday that his kidneys are actually in better shape then we first thought. We met Dr. Roth the urology surgeon, and he said that about 70% of babies with the same type of obstruction that Jackson has don't ever require surgery. So for now it is a watch and wait kind of thing. The urologist says that typically as babies grow these obstructions go away. He will just keep having sonograms on his kidneys. Jackson is acting like he feels so much better the last couple of days. They have been able to decrease his ventilator settings some. We have even started ventilator pressure support trials again. He did 2 hours of just pressure support yesterday and did great, so today he did 4 hours. He did so good today, he kept his saturations anywhere from 97-100%!!!!!!!!!!!! They usually up the percent of oxygen the ventilator is giving him during these trials but he was actually on less today during the trial. We have learned that the yeast he has is an aggressive type of yeast so he will have to be on IV medication for that for 6 weeks. Other then that all good news today. Thanks for reading. Please continue to pray for all the CDH families out there.
Love
Adam and Kimberly
