I finally figured out how to get on here! I want to start by saying how wonderful Jaxson is doing! He is impressing lots of doctors and nurses in the NICU. His nurse said he is so fiesty! Every time they get him situated, he starts kicking around all over the place. All his extra exercising has caused him to burn off a few ounces of weight. She said that's perfectly normal. He is such a blessing! It's amazing how his strenth has helped Eric and I stay strong. If he was struggling, it might be a little harder, but he is doing so great!
Throughout this entire situation, we have been overwhelmed by the love and support from family and friends! There are not enough words to describe how greatful we are. People who we don't even know have called to check on us and let us know they were praying for us. We know that Jaxson is on prayer lists all over the country, and God hears those prayers. We may never know why he was born so early, but we do know that God has big plans for him. We are so thankful for each person who has said a prayer, brought us a meal, donated a dollar, called to check on us, cut our grass, and offered to do anything we need! It's been such a blessing to not have to worry about some of the day-to-day stuff! Every tear that Eric and I have shed has been a tear of joy, not a tear of worry! We know that there is nothing we need to worry about right now, and can focus all of our energy on Jaxson. We love and thank every person for all that you are doing for us!
My doctor just came in and said I can go home today! That is pretty exciting, since yesterday they told me I was staying until Saturday. I will be sad to be away from our little sweetie, but it will be nice to actually sleep in a real bed and use real towels to dry off after a shower!
I just called down to check on Jaxson. He is still doing great! He didn't need any oxygen all through the night. That little stinker burned off some more calories though. He weighed in at 1 lb. 15 3/4 oz. He is a little wiggle worm! His ultrasounds of his head have all came back clear, so that is great news! He continues to improve on something everyday! It's amazing!
I was also very excited yesterday, because a lady came by to ask if her daughter, Madelyn, could walk in the March of Dimes Walk next month for Jaxson. She heard his story through some friends of ours from church. How awesome that Jaxson's story is touching other children!
We love you all!
Love,
The Gray Family
