Week 6

Week 6

Jackson has continued to make so much progress this last week. He has done great off the ventilator, his breathing getting better each day. He has stopped having stridor with his breathing and he has moved to the next step down on the oxygen support, from CPAP to vapotherm. He is getting older and bigger, and he is starting to show it more. He gained another 5 ounces last week. He is starting to have more alert times during the day. It is so great to see him looking around more. He is such a sweet baby and makes us so happy to see him start to do better. 



Day 43

Jackson Day 43: 1255 grams or 2 lbs 12 oz. little man gained an ounce and a half last night! They increased his milk to 25 cc per feeding now that he's starting to pack on the weight. His last blood gas was excellent! Better than they were on CPAP. Last dose of steroids will be in the morning. He's really starting to do great. Mom got an extra hour of snuggle time for her birthday this morning. And Jackson has been curled up sleeping sweetly since. FOJSP!
