What a difference a month makes!

A month ago - Jackson weighed 2lbs 4oz today he weighs in at......4lbs 0.2oz!! -- He was on a Ventilator, and as of today, he is on High Flow Oxygen!
He no longer has to have a tube in his little nose, and will just have oxygen delivered through the nasal cannula! We pray that he does well on this, as being on CPap is hard on his little nose, and can be a little uncomfortable for him. Not to mention that we'll be able to hold him more easily!
He also had his 2 month immunizations on Sunday - he was a little trooper, and cried only when they had to poke him.
Jackson had another eye exam on Wednesday - it has shown a little progression in the ROP. We are still not to the point of surgery, but if the ROP continues to progress, he may need eye surgery - so we need prayers for his little eyes.

We have about 6 weeks to go if he comes home around his due date! 6 WEEKS! typing that makes me tear up. Jackson has really done so well for all the stuff he's had to go through. We're so proud of him and so ready for him to be home with us!

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalms 91:4
