Update #5

Everything still the same. He is having a little bleeding but that is not uncommon. Will be another 45 min to an hour. Still very stable.

update #4

We just got another update. They are in the process of taking him off of heart-lung bypass. he is still "very stable and doing well". The next update will be to let us know when they are done and moving him to PCICU.

update #3

Take a deep breath...there was a malfunction in the paging system so we didn't get the page that was sent at 11:10AM until now. Everything is still going well. We should get another page soon.

update #2

All is well. Jackson is now on heart-lung bypass. He remains "very stable". See ya in an hour.

update #1

We just got our first update, all is well. He's stable. They're just cutting through scar tissue. Will update in 1 hour.

Gone Into Battle

We had to be here at 5:30AM! Needless to say, Little Man was not happy. They gave him another versed cocktail (the good stuff) to relax him before he left out. Once again he was drunk as a skunk! They took him back at about 6:30AM. Surgery should start at 7:30AM. We will get our first update between 9:00-9:30AM! Until then...

Whatcha' Doin?!?

It's been a while since our last post, but we've been staying pretty busy. I'll post some new pics so that you can see what Jackson has been up to. This will be our last post before we head to MUSC. We're heading out Tuesday, June 30. He has to be at the hospital on Wednesday morning at 9:00am for preop, which will consist of an Echo, EKG, labwork, X-rays, a visit from anesthesia, the MD's who will be taking care of him, and of course the surgeon. They say that it should only take 2-4 hours but we'll see!! In our free time we plan on trying to pack in as much fun stuff as possible. We told Jackson this morning where he was going and what will be happening. He was actually pretty excited about it. All day long he asked "are we going to the hospital now?". Hopefully he'll still think that it's FUN in about 3 weeks. With that being said, we will start posting Thursday, July 2 on at least a daily basis. Please continue to pray that Jackson will be brave and that God will protect and comfort him, for all the MD's and nurses that will come in contact with him along this journey, and last but not least for MAMA and DADDY!!! Please also pray for Papa, he moved into the McCall Hospice House Tuesday. His body is very weak and tired. Our prayer is that God would comfort him and grant our family peace.
Until next time...

Believe it or not, Riley actually lets Jackson ride him around in the back of the Gator!
