Long time, no post

Everything is still going good for Jackson. We just haven't posted in a while because there has not been much news. Jackson is still breathing fast but keeping his oxygen saturations up while he is on 1/2 liter of oxygen via nasal cannula. Because of his fast respirations he is still not yet being fed by mouth due to the risk of aspiration. They have started talking about discharge plans, finding doctors and home health for Jackson back in Dallas. Although we don't yet have an exact discharge date they are saying that it should be within two weeks, give or take a few days. We are trying to find the best way for Jackson to go home because of the long trip and his oxygen requirements they may transport him home by ambulance. We will be taking infant CPR in the next week or so in preparation for coming home with Jackson. Jackson is no longer on ativan so the only meds he will go home on are lasix, viagra, and oxygen as well as sodium and potassium being added to his feeds.

Love,
Adam & Kimberly

Woo-hoo!!! Great news! Please keep us updated on everything. Maybe when you're back home, E. and I can make a trip down and meet you guys, Amanda, Jenn and Sherri. I would love to see Jackson as I hold him in my heart. I don't know how Jackson can get any more handsome.

Love,
Jana
