1 year (plus a month - but who's counting)! It's hard to believe! With Jackson's birthday
and Christmas, time has gotten away from me... And to be honest, I've
struggled to write this post - Jackson is doing so well - it's hard to
imagine where we were just 1 year ago. When we were in the NICU, I had a
calender/notebook that I would write notes in; his height, his weight and other things
to help me remember little details. A lot of our time in the NICU
is a blur -rounds, blood gasses, transfusions, ultrasounds, Eye exams,
and weight checks.... But we're past that, we're on to bigger and better
things! Like Crawling! Yes, Crawling - I would like to ever so kindly
show him off to a certain doctor who told us this quite possibly would not
happen. He has 2 teeth and working on what seems like a whole mouth
full. He loves to crawl up to anything and everything and sit up on his
knees - He usually looks back at us and has this little look, like
"look at me mom - I'm so cute you can't say no to me" When he gets
tired, he gets goofy - you can't barely look at him and he'll just
giggle uncontrollably... And
obviously Ben and I think it's hilarious to egg him on. He's just over 19 #
and 28" tall - he's been healthy, and happy! Ben and I enjoyed
celebrating his Birthday and 1st Christmas home.
So, thank you everyone - who have taken the time to read this and check
in on how we're doing - for thoughts and prayers - for your love and
support. We are thankful for the Amazing doctors and nurses, who cared
for Jackson. As we continue our journey - we may
not post as often - running after a little boy is hard work ya'll - and
I'm told they only get faster ;)
For those of you who have asked -My mom just started her next
treatment of Radiation and Chemo .. She will be doing 5 days a week for 5
weeks in Iowa City (just 1 day of Chemo)- We got the news that the
cancer has not spread to anywhere else - Praise God!
We had a great
holiday break, and enjoyed family time! Continued prayers are
appreciated.
