Amazing strides forward

Hi guys, this is going to be super quick, I will post more with pics tonight. Jackson is doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are weaning is oxygen by 2 everyday. He is now on 43%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have also weaned his PIP (inspired pressure) from 25-23, we were on 20 before the pulmonary hypertension. He is handling all of these changes wonderfully and always sats about 100%. His BNP (heart function number) is all the way down to 50. He is happy and playfull all the time, he smiles constantly. They are checking another blood gas today, so there will probably be more changes to talk about when we get home. He is still being fed into his stomach. He is tolerating his feeds wonderfully and has only "refluxed" twice. This is amazing, no one can believe how well his tummy is doing. The feeds are still continuous, his reflux may show up when we go to bolus feeds. But right now everything is wonderfull. Thanks for reading and praying.
Love
Kimberly and Adam
