Testing 1, 2, 3
Jackson is testing out his car seat right now. They like to make sure vital signs stay good for the trip home. So far he's doing great! They are still using the word "discharge" in almost every sentence, so it's looking like this may really happen...! He will be coming home on IV antibiotics, oxygen, tube feedings, oral medications, and possibly one twice daily shot. I have to admit my heart is trembling at the thought of it all. But God has brought a boy who never should've lived to the point of being able to go home. We know we can look to Him for this next step. The main verse of the devotional I read this morning was, "The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you, He will be with you; He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." Deuteronomy 31:8 Would you pray for us? For faith to see the unseen and grace to match the needs of each day. We can't begin to express our gratitude to each of you who have cared enough to follow our journey and pray us through each step. I plan to continue to post updates on Jackson's progress and any specific prayer requests. Wouldn't it be wonderful to one day post a video of his first steps or first words? God is able. We are anxious to see what His best for Jackson turns out to be. We know it has to be good...

Ha! I love that idea! I'll sign you right up!
DeleteSure hope Jackson is able to go home, soon! He's come through so much & has that fighting spirit. He's a cute fellow, and that video of him drinking the milk is so darling. Sounds like you have a wonderful team of doctors & nurses at the hospital. Thank you for all the updates, and God continue to bless & keep you all.
