ET-CPAP

Jackson was switched over to ET-CPAP (endotracheal-continuous positive airway pressure) on Friday morning with a pressure of 7. At times Jackson struggled with it but for the most part he is handling it well as he kept his oxygen saturations in the mid to high 90's unless he needed suctioned. Today the doctors reduced the CPAP pressure to 6 and he is doing great still. The plan is to reduce the pressure to 5 on Sunday and then to extubate on Monday morning. Even though Jackson's primary nurse, Jackie, won't be there on Monday we should have another one of our favorite nurses as Melanie signed up on Friday afternoon to take Jackson on Monday and Tuesday. Please pray for the extubation to go well. Baby Mert is scheduled to be born on Tuesday. Also we have a special prayer request for baby Gavin here in the Texas Children's NICU. Gavin recently had surgery and is not doing well.

Love,
Adam & Kimberly

Jackson is a favorite baby boy for us. Everyday we get impatient to see his progress and how he is doing well. We feel that he is so strong baby and achieve this milestone in a short time. We'are praying for his extubation.
Baby Gavin is also in our special prayers.
