We Held Baby Jackson!!!

When Jackson was born into the world, things were so complicated. Jackson was sick and was rushed off to the NICU where everyone touched our son but us. This was a great day where Jackson and Becca were reunited. When Jackson was placed in Becca's arms, as you can see in the video, he was so fascinated and calm. Despite all of that, he was also quite alert. We are grateful for our experience.

Some people have wondered about Jackson's antibiotics. So for a day Jackson was taken off of his antibiotics; however, with recent yellow secretions from his lungs they feel that they should put him back on for the moment. As far as his ventilator, Jackson has weaned to about 28% oxygen and is taking spontaneous breaths from his ventilator. Today Jackson didn't process food like we would like, but last night Jackson was a pooping fantastic. Also, Jackson had his umbilical arterial catheter taken out today.

We are mindful that Jackson has made great process and have high hopes that he is going to continue to make great progress. We are trying not to put deadlines on when we think things will happen because we have little control over those details. Patience is a virtue :-)
