We now have a new and improved Jackson Butterfield. He has a new ventilator. He is no longer on the oscillatory ventilator and is now on a conventional ventilator. Jackson was placed on this ventilator today and is doing well. He is trying to get used to a new way of breathing. Thus far in Jacksons life, he has not been breathing like we do. Obviously, when Jackson was in the womb, he breathed through mom. When he first came out Jackson tried to breathe, but it didn't work very well. So he would inhale and hold it. Soon Jackson was put on the oscillatory ventilator which he has been on every since today. Now this ventilator assists Jackson to breath whenever he needs it. We are grateful this is wonderful progress.
As of today Jackson is one week old. We have read several books to Jackson. I would say that Jackson is among the most well read one week olds I have ever met. So far we have read Green eggs and Ham, The Best Kind of Kisses, Click Clack Moo, How Dinosaurs Say Good Night, and a couple others. We hope that Jackson likes to read books more that his parents did.
Anyway, we are very glad that he continues to make great progress. Thank you again for all of your prayers. We feel them. Though this is hard we know that it is Heavenly Fathers will that we go through this experience. We love all of you and so does Jackson.
What fun books! He is well loved!
