Home again!!

This morning we got discharged from the hospital!! Jackson is doing much better and not in near as much pain as he had been. Tuesday was the worst for him and he was just miserable all day and the nurses were just trying to get his pain under control, but by Wednesday he was already doing better and each day since he has been improving. Jackson is once again smiling and playing with his toys, although he really guards his neck and tries not to move too much. Jackson has an incision that starts at the base of his head and runs down his neck that is about three inches long. It is hard to find a good position to hold him so that our arms do not rub against his incision. Jackson had great care at DeVos Children's Hospital and we are so very thankful for all of the wonderful nurses that cared for Jackson.

Please keep Jackson in your prayers that he will continue to have a speedy recovery. Please pray that he will not have any infections, cerebral spinal fluid leaks, and that his brain growth will slow and that we will not need to repeat this surgery in the future .

We are so thankful for all of your thoughts and prayers, they definitely carried us through the past week. Most of all we give all of our thanks to God for bringing our precious son though this surgery and for watching over him every step of the way.
