Still Extubated
Hey everyone. Jackson is still doing good. He keeps his oxygen saturations over 95% all the time. His work of breathing is so much better today. He is really doing good, everyone is so pleased. They are not going to start trying to feed by mouth until they know that being extubated is not going to be too hard on his heart. A BNP (heart function number) was done today and it was 65. This is really good, they want it under 100. So it appears that right now being extubated is not putting too much strain on his heart. His mobile broke recently and Adam and my dad were able to fix, it worked for like 2 days then broke again. We were so upset because he loves it so much. Any way we bought him a new one today and we went in to see him the old one was working again. He got to wear an outfit that my Aunt Pattie made him today. It is such a great outfit because it is totally velcro so it does not have to go over his head. It is the perfect NICU outfit. He had to get a haircut today. He moves his head from side to side to fall asleep, and this caused him to get knots in the back of his hair, so I am including pictures of his first haircut. Well I guess that's all for today. Thanks for reading. Baby Mert should be here today, please keep his family in your prayers.
Love
Adam and Kimberly
I think he has Gerber baby lips. :)

Kimberly and Adam,
Jackson is so handsome! Keep up the good work, precious boy! I'm so happy for your family; Jackson is doing wonderfully and I just can't get over how cute he is without his ET tube.
As always, your family remains in my thoughts.
