We've had a pretty good day today, Jackson got his chest tube taken out this afternoon! I have to say he didn't act as happy about it as his mom and I were, but I can't blame him for being upset, he did have a tube about the size of his finger pulled out the side of his chest. He's made some improvements on his breathing today, he's requiring less and less assisted oxygen (not sure if that's what they call it, good enough for me) all the time. He's still gonna have to be on the ventilator for another week or so it sounds like. The above picture is Jackson wearing his "shades". They had to turn some lights on him because he was showing a little bit of jaundice, but the doc said it's pretty common in the NICU, and should be gone in two or three days.
