Jackson continues to make small, incremental process while in the NICU. Today's milestone;he is retaining his body temperature and although still in the incubator it's no longer heated. It was quite a treat to see him decked out in baby clothes today even if a bit oversized. The next big step mom and dad are hoping for is the removal of the CPAP or as the nurses refer to it, his fighter mask. If he continues to have less bradys (breathing issues) he can go down a level to what will look like an oxygen tube in his nose. It will be so much more comfortable and we'll get a glimpse of his face. Fingers crossed Jackson keeps making positive baby steps so he can come home.
