Progress continues

He was so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa.



Jackson continues to do very well. He started his 24 hour pressure support yesterday (July 4th)at 8am. The plan is to wean his ventilator just a little bit more before extubation. They want to wean his amount of pressure from 13 to 10, in the morning. The the next morning they want to wean his PEEP from 7 to 5, this might take a couple of weans hopefully done in the same day. All of these weans are obviously only going to be done if Jackson keeps tolerating them. So Friday we should be on the settings we want. Once he has tolerated these settings for 2-3 days they will try to extubate again. So we are thinking Monday or Tuesday for extubation. Although we are very excited about this we really wanted him to be extubated on a day Jackie, his primary nurse, was there. Jackson is the happiest baby I have ever seen. He smiles so big all the time, and laughs a ton. Even if you wake him up he just smiles at you. His central line should come out in the morning, and his phenobarbital (seizure med) will probably be discontinued. His ativan was weaned today. He amazes me everyday. He is such a strong happy little boy. Thanks for reading.
Love
Adam and Kimberly

We were allowed to let him taste lollipops, he loves them. I think he likes watermelon better then cherry.
