I came in this morning to a lot of good news! Jackson's fever had not returned, his white count was good, and they planned to move him back to the annex room...the last stop before step down. Praise God!! Jackson's surgeon (the one who performed the pacemaker clean out and rigged the antibiotic device just for Jackson) came in and looked noticeably shocked when he heard the report. He then proceeded to do a half-dance across the room and said, "THANK GOD!" He looked like he was about to tear up, and I know I sure was. His kindness and skillful care have meant the world to us...to see him care so deeply about Jackson's welfare was very moving.
So now Jackson is in 14-A, and he has had a good day. I've never seen him so alert and attentive! Staring and staring at me while I was holding him! The nurse asked him what he was doing. I told her I was pretty sure he was gazing into the depths of my soul. :)
THANK YOU for praying us through this latest complication. All praise to the Giver of life!
These photos are precious! We are praising God for answering so many prayers! Jackson- his name means "God has been gracious" - perfect.
