THANK YOU
We would like to thank Jana Lewallen (mom to Drew 3/8/06-4/16/06 and Elizabeth). She made the amazing slide show of Jackson. We love it so much and are so happy that she was able to do that for us. She even posted it on the blog because we could not figure out how. Once again, thank you Jana.
Well We actually figured out last night that Jackson has not really been a bad boy. He actually coughed so hard is ET tube came out, and he did again last night. He has some really thick secretions and he just coughed so hard he dislodged his tube, poor baby. We got more good news today. Remember the BNP (heart function number)? It was 71 this morning, the normal range for this is 0-100. When he was his sickest with the pulmonary hypertension his was as high as 3,000. We also found out that they did a blood gas this morning and the results were "too good", HE GOT HIS OXYGEN WEANED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok we only went from 55% to 53% but that is definitely the right direction. He kept his sats at about 100% all day. He also is not throwing up yet, so his tummy is doing great. Hopefully we will stay on this track now and have slight improvements everyday. As always please continue to pray for us, and all the CDH babies.
Love
Kimberly and Adam
P.S. Sofia is doing great, tolerating feeds and even getting to nurse, she should be on her way home soon.
Audrey is also doing wonderful and making amazing strides everyday.
