Jackson was also moved into an isolete. He started in this style of bed when at Mercy (in Des Moines) but Iowa City they preferred the other style of bed because it allowed for easier access to him. Now that he is getting more and more stable, they want to put him back into the isolate style bed since that will help him grow faster. The next style of bed he will see will be an open crib (and then home)!
We spoke with his doctors and asked a few questions about his status and what to expect in the coming weeks. Here is what they had to say:
He is still on CPAP, and is doing well on that - we hope in the next few weeks, they will try to wean him off of this type of support and move onto the next.
His kidneys & bladder are functioning well at this point - they plan to run a few tests shortly before he goes home - this will hopefully give us a little insight into what has happened and what we might expect in the future.
We asked if he was on track to be able to go home around his due date (march 22nd) and they said that as long as he continues on the path he's on, they see no reason we shouldn’t be bringing our little man home in about 8 weeks! We are so incredibly excited to bring him home and can’t wait for the end of March to arrive!!
