GO JACKSON GO!

Jackson's blood gas was so good this morning that instead of going down from 45% oxygen to 43% they went down to 42%! They weaned his PEEP from 7 down to 6! They even weaned his pressure support level of 15 down to 13. They weaned his ativan some more as well. They got another blood gas at 3:30 this afternoon to see how he was doing with the changes and it was still so good that they weaned the PIP (inspired pressure) from 23 down to 22. All this and Jackson still pretty much always saturates at 100%! They are saying that Jackson will probably begin pressure support trials in the next few days as well. Jackson is totally line free now as he no longer has any PICC lines or IV's. Jackson smiles all the time and is very interactive with others, which is a big deal for a baby that has been as sick as him. Enjoy the pics.

GO MAVS! His friend, Robin, said that Jackson has to represent big D in H-town!
