Day 46

Day 46

Jackson day 46: 1350 grams or 3 lbs! Our little boy is getting to be a big boy! He had a really big jump in weight last night, 2.5 oz so we'll see what his weight does tonight. Last night Jackson started having a lot of bradycardia where his heart rate would drop, so Dr. Nold tested his hematocrit and he was at 25. They don't like them to get below 30, the lowest he's been is 28.  Last Monday when they tested his blood he was at 33.  They were letting him get low to see if his body would start producing red blood cells. But he's had a huge growth spurt this week and his little body just couldn't keep up. He's doing much better since getting 20 cc (4 teaspoons) of blood last night. He's got his energy, and his attitude back. He has a lot of personality for such a little guy. That feistiness has gotten him a long way, and he's doing great! FOJSP!
