I went home yesterday for a quick trip to see my boys in Twin Falls. I miss them so much. I returned back to Boise today to avoid the snow storms that are coming this weekend. I plan on staying here until Jackson goes home. I need to be here to nurse him, he's still learning. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle this emotionally, being away from my family for so long. David will hopefully bring them to see me on the weekends if the weather is good. James is having a hard time having me gone. He starts to cry when I tell him I'm leaving to go back. It brakes my heart, I sure miss them. I miss holding my little Bryan and singing to him at night. I have to keep reminding myself, this is only temporary and I will be home soon. I wanted to spend Christmas with my family, but it looks I will be here in Boise with Jackson.
Jackson has been having high blood pressure again. The systolic pressure is reading too high, as high as 114. They did an ecogram on his heart and the results were normal. They did an x-ray on his kidneys, and I will know the results tomorrow. The doctor consulted with a specialist from Portland to determine why Jackson is having high blood pressure. He ordered lab work for Renin Assey level and for Jackson to be on the medication Spironelactone (a diuretic). The doctors are trying to determine if there is something going on with his kidneys.
I know Jackson is going to be fine. He has received priesthood blessings that have given me much comfort. I know the Lord is watching over him and Jackson will grow up and live a normal life. I'm so thankful for him, he's such a sweetie. He is doing so much better today. I was actually able to hold him while his oxygen levels stayed normal. I need to post more pictures, I keep forgetting to bring my camera with me to the hospital.
