No it is not a, deluxe apartment in the sky, but Jackson made a big move last night to the 7th floor. This means he doesn't need the constant care and attention offered in a NICU with a nurse always at his bedside. In the new room Jackson has no neighbors, moved into a big boy's crib, and nurses check in on him throughout the day. As the photos show he is getting big weighing in at 5 lbs. 5 ozs, just look at that round face for the proof.
Our journey focuses on mastering feeding. Jackson has done very well this week maintaining his heart rate and has few alarms or bradies now. Doctors say if he goes 5 days in a row without a brady that he needs help recovering from that is a marker he is ready to go home. And he needs to feed on his own without the tube. He takes anywhere from 2/3rds to a full bottle for each feed so we are close indeed. We hope we have days left to go and are focsued on getting our son home.
