Almost 4 weeks!

It's been a few weeks since I have updated our blog on baby Jackson.  He is doing very well and currently weighs 5 lbs 13.5 oz!!  I think we will hit the 6lb mark on Tuesday.  He is still breathing a little heavy and they had to put him back on oxygen last Wednesday to help.  Hopefully we can wean him off of that again sometime this week.  He still has his feeding tube in and probably will for another week or so until he can start eating on his own.  They did a heart ultra sound this past week to make sure his heavy breathing wasn't caused by any serious heart problems.  Thankfully, the ultrasound results came back normal.  Now the doctors say he just needs a little time and his breathing will be normal once he gets a little older and gains a little more weight. 

He is such a strong little boy and I am amazed every time I look at him.  He is wonderful and we are truly blessed.  Scott and I can spend hours and hours just staring at him. 

We have had a lot of people ask when he will be able to come home - we are not sure and neither are the doctors.  We are just waiting for his breathing and for him to be eating on his own.  They think it could take a few more weeks.  We are ok for however long it takes to get our little guy healthy enough to bring home and will be here with him everyday.  We also want to thank everyone for the visits and all of the well wishes and prayers.  It's so amazing to know we have so many people who care about us.  Jackson is already loved by so many!!
