Poem for Jackson

Here is a very random post but I wrote a poem almost a year ago to be displayed with Jackson's 4 year old portrait and I've never shared it with the "world". (I am NO poet, but I think it sums us up!)

You were created by His gentle hand.
A special heart, He had in His plan.
He sent you to us with a kiss on your chest.
For what lay ahead, He knew would be best.
We know every heartbeat is a sign of His love;
You are a MIRACLE, a gift from above.

PRAISE REPORT!!!

We went to the the cardiologist Wednesday for the first time since his fenestration was closed in April by heart cath...and drumroll please!!! I am very ecstatic to report that Jackson's o2 sats were 99%!!! (Sorry for all the exclamation marks, but this is a very big deal in "heart baby world"!) If you remember Jackson's o2 sats have been as high as 92% and as low as 50%.(A normal healthy person's o2 sats should be in the high 90's!) Dr. L also said that his ECHO looked great and that he couldn't be more pleased with the way things are! Two little side notes...(we tend to hold on to all the details no matter how small and especially the good ones!) Ok, here we go, so before the Dr. came in to check out Jackson he was walking in the hall with a resident and a medical student (his 2 shadows for the day), Jackson and I were headed to have his ECHO done, Dr.L asked the students...Jackson is 4 years old, if you were to pick out 4 kids that are his age, would you ever be able to pick him out as the single ventricle? The students were floored that my little man is the single ventricle! He also said that now when he diagnoses new babies with a single ventricle, he thinks of Jackson and knows that one day these babies can look as good as he does! Sorry for rambleing on... but as you can imagine, this appointment nearly had me in tears! I am so PROUD of how far he has come...THANKFUL...and TRULY BLESSED!!!
