So, I first have to apologize that I haven't updated the blog for a while. Jackson is still making grand improvements. Jackson has moved from a high flow nasal cannula to a regular nasal cannula. He is still on 28% oxygen. He has been feed through a NG tube for some time and is about 2 ounces every three hours. Yesterday, Becca was able to try to breast feed. Today he eat about 1/2 and ounce to and ounce of breast milk from Becca and was feed the rest. He is getting the hang of it. We are proud of our little guy. There are three things that need to happen for little Jackson to leave the hospital.
- He has to gain weight by eating orally, from bottle or breast.
- Be off morphine
- Breathe on room air
We have received some pictures of both Jackson and I. Take a look and see who you think he looks like. I don't have a scanned picture of Becca but I will get that up soon.

Yay for breastfeeding! I'm so glad he's able to be eating now. I can see his dad in his face for sure!
ReplyDeleteHe definitely has a lot of his daddy in him, but there is a little Becca in there as well. It will be fun to see her baby picture as well and compare him to both of you. So glad he is progressing so well.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad he is improving. I can't imagine how hard this must have been for you both. He is adorable and I think he does look a lot like Aaron. Congratulations, and I will keep you all in my prayers. Becca thanks for being such a good friend while we lived together in Rexburg.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy he is improving Aaron! He is adorable! Keep us updated and I'll keep him and your family in my prayers!
