Poor little guy! It's been a big day-and-a-half for Jackson, but all is going well. He got moved from the PICU to the eighth floor this morning. They removed his catheter, the PIC line in his neck, and the oxygen before the move. He still has a drain in his head to get rid of extra blood and fluid, but it is starting to slow down. Daniel and Mr. Crowson spent the night last night and said that he did pretty well considering all he's been through. He gets morphine about every 2-3 hours to control the pain. His eyes are getting more puffy and purple. They said that the swelling would probably reach its peak tomorrow. He's been a little bit upset and scared not being able to see us. He took a bottle of Pedialyte this morning and wanted more, but we have to make sure his stomach is settled. He's laying in bed listening to his little "Praise Baby" DVD, so he's resting pretty peacefully.
All in all, he's doing really well and looks much better than I anticipated that he would. Please continue to pray for his healing and that he would be comforted easily despite not being able to see us. Thank you all for your support during this time! Your calls and e-mails have been very encouraging. My cell phone died, so if you need to reach me, please call me on Daniel's number.
