UH-OH!!!!!!



Hi everyone. About a week ago Jackson walked into the the living room and told Adam uh-oh. Adam said what uh-oh and Jackson lifted up his shirt and his button fell out. Adam said UUHHHH-OHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To make a long story short, after trying all day to get the button back in Adam was unsuccessful and we basically decided not to torture him with anymore attempts. (For those of you who don't know those holes start to close up pretty quickly.) Because Jackson had been doing good on his eating we decided to leave the button out. He still only eats a little bit at a time but it appears to be getting better. He does complain about his stomach hurting every now and then and we think it is because he is getting hungry. We are offering him all kinds of food anything to get calories in him at this point. We still think he has a good chance of staying off the feeding tube. He still has a small hole in his tummy that is leaking and causing some skin breakdown. We went the surgeon's office yesterday and got a cream to treat the breakdown. We have another appointment Wednesday the 20 th to decide if the button hole needs repaired surgically. I guess that is all right now. I hope everyone is doing well.
I am including some pictures of our wonderful vacation to Padre.
Love
Kimberly Adam and Jackson



P.S. If anyone in Houston still reads this we will be in town on September 13 th for the Texas Center for Fetal surgery reunion. We would love to see you guys while we are there.
