Happy New Year!

Hello Family and Friends,

We hope this blog finds everyone happy, healthy and recovering from a fabulous Christmas. We are very excited as the New Year has been good to us thus far and we had a blessed Christmas celebrating it with our little man outside the NICU.

Jackson has had many doctors appointments but they are telling us that he is doing well infact they all seem really happy with Jackson's status. We pray this keeps up.

On December 19th Jackson had his 1st appointment with Dr. Unite at Treehouse Pediatrics in Round Rock. Dr. Unite said his lungs sound good, conduct an exam and we pretty much just chatted about his medical history.

On December 20th Christa his Respiratory Therapist came to visit at our house to download his monitor. She mentioned their was lots of data which isn't necessarily good but hopefully the data is just from false alarms and not real apena or brady espisodes.

Of course our Dec. 23rd ER visit to Childrens Hospital- blog below covers that : ) Just mom being paranoid but happy that was all it was.

On December 26th Jackson had his 2nd appointment with Dr. Unite,He went to that appointment weighing in a 6lbs 5 oz and doing well.

All snug as a bug ready for my visit to doctors office.
On December 29th Jackson goes to Austin Childrens Chest Associates where he gets examined by the Nurse Practition whom informs us that he only had 1 "real" apena episode which is great considering all that Jackson has been through. She said he is a very smart boy which of course mom and dad agree. Jackson also is weighed and measured at this appointment. Jackson weighed in at 6lbs 8 oz and he is 18.5 inches long! He has grown 4.5 inches since birth.

On Janaury 2nd Jackson goes to his next weight check at Dr. Unites office in which he weighs in at 6lbs 14.5 oz! We are almost 7 lbs baby.

Ahh! What is a man to do- so many schools so little time......
Jan 5th- BIG DAY- we go to Dr. Lockharts office for eye exam and all went well. His eyes looked good but they want another follow-up in 2 weeks which is okay - but mom will admit this exam really is hard to watch Jackson go through so if all goes well in 2 weeks we don't see Dr. Lockhart's office for 6-9 months which we will be very happy about! Nothing against the staff they are great.

We can't thank everyone enough for the prayers as they definitely are helping Jackson, dad and mom.

I am ready to walk Mom really I am...
