So Thankful...

I'm so thankful for how well Jackson has done. First he was born with a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and had surgery at 2 weeks old to correct that. For those that don't know what that is, he was born with a hole in his diaphragm and his intestines were in his chest cavity, affecting the growth of his left lung. He did great after the surgery. While still in the hospital we learned he had Craniosynostosis. That's where the soft spots in his skull close prematurely. He had surgery for that on February 13, at almost 6 months of age. He wears a helmet now to protect his head and to help shape his skull as it grows back. Well one of the little girls around here (I say little even though she's 14 because I'm old. LOL) has a cousin who had Craniosynostosis. He had to have surgery TWICE for that because after his first surgery his skull grew back too fast. She said he's 4 months old now, so it had to be major for him to have to have surgery so early. And all I can say (knock on wood) is thank GOD for the progress Jackson has had.
