I've been so busy with my 4 boys that I haven't taken time to write in the blog. Jackson is doing so well! He continues to have high blood pressure and calcium deposits in his kidneys. We go to Boise once a month to see the kidney specialist. It's kind of fun to have an excuse to go to Boise again. I don't miss being their in the hospital though. We have been so blessed!
Jackson is a great nurser. It was a long struggle, I thought he would never learn. Now I struggle with him to take his bottle for his supplement. He will sometimes gag and gag when I put it into his mouth, because he would rather nurse.
He is still on medicine for his blood pressure and reflux. He hates taking his reflux medication. He will gag and gag when I try to give it to him. I few weeks ago I tried giving it to him and he cocked his head back and the medicine went down his throat wrong. He stopped breathing and looked all pale. I was scared and thought I was going to have to call 911 and then I couldn't find my cell phone. He finally coughed and threw up his medication. I still feel uneasy when I give this medication to him. I've tasted it and it is horrible.
He is getting so close to smiling. He has cooed a few times, it's so cute. He's such a sweet little boy. I call him my little Jay. His daddy loves to hold him and do the supplement feedings at night. They are still hard on his stomach. Giving him lots of gas and constipation.
Jackson loves to look around and be carried in the baby sling, (I call it the happy pack)so he can be next to me. We could use some more sleep at night. Jackson likes to sleep all day and stay up at night.
I'm trying to keep up with the house work. I was washing my kids clothes and found carrot sticks in James pants. All this time I thought he was eating his carrots and instead he was putting then in his pant pocket. What a little stinker.
David is out of town this week in Denver. We will miss him.
Bryan turned three today. We had his birthday party yesterday with my family. I made him a dirt cake with worms in it. He thought that was so fun! He kept saying, "I'm the birthday boy." He's my little sunshine.
Jackson got his 4th RSV shot today. We are hoping to keep him healthy. James, Bryan and David have been sick. I got sick with Mastitis, but we are all feeling much better.
Jackson goes to PT once a week. We are trying to work on his neck muscles. He has a flat spot on his right side of his head from laying on his back too much in the NICU. We are hoping he doesn't have to wear a helmet.
