.:Jaundice-Week 1:.

Mason ended up with Jaundice so he had to be on the bililights for a couple of days. His count got up to 18. There is nothing that I hate more than this. Jackson had to do the bilibed too for about a week. So I was so glad that Mason only had to be on the bilibed for two days three nights. He is doing a great job with eating but I just haven't been able to get much milk in yet so I have to do some supplementing. He is growing great. He got down to 5lbs. 12oz when we went home and he was back up to 6lbs after a week. Jackson just loves being a big brother. He was a little nervous cause of his cast. But after we got that off he has wanting to do nothing but give Mason loves. He has been able to spend the night at both grandparents a couple of times and he is loving that and I am loving the help.

"A Quiet Testimony"

You could look at this little boy and think nothing is wrong
Those that know him, know he's struggled all along.
Appointment after appointment, doctor after doctor
Built up with frustration, but sitting with no answer.
Not knowing where to start or what to do
Quietly the little boy grew and grew.
His parents each holding a hand along the way
He's not going anywhere-He is here to stay.
In his eyes, determination-In his heart is faith
He pushed the bar and slowly it was raised.
Always smiling, and happy as can be
Such a small boy, not yet three.
He's stronger than most, but not where expected
His so called battle his mind has rejected.
He's doing his best, and through that succeeding
While those that love him are fervently pleading.
Throughout his life, he'll go so far
From the beginning he let to raise the bar.
With that attitude of-"Come what may" He's my little angel, Jackson Ray.

.:Our Blessing:.

Jackson has just recently been diagnosed with Ataxia. He is doing so well and loves walking with his walker. Jackson still has physical, occupational, and speech therapy once a week. Jackson loves his therapists and does such a great job for them.
Jackson has taught Barry and I a lot about loving and patients. He loves so much and is such a happy boy(most of the time). We love Jackson so much and are so proud of him. Even though his life is a little harder for him you could never be able to tell, just for the fact that he doesn't let it slow him down. And that is a lesson that he can teach all of us. What an awesome kid!!!!!!
