Two Pounds For Jaxon

We just figured that we would let you guys know that Jaxon has eclipsed the two pound mark.  Jordan, I am challenging you to catch up with your "Little Brother".  I know that you are a fierce competitor and that you will do everything that you can to catch him.  Go get Jaxon.  Jaxon, you better not let him catch you.  Sorry, that's just the coach coming out in me.  More on that after the update.

Jordan is doing good.  He still has not had any more of the apnea episodes.  His feedings are going pretty good and since they moved to the larger CPAP his breathing and oxygen saturation levels have been good as well.

Jaxon, as I mentioned earlier, is the first to reach two pounds.  He is doing well on his feedings also.  He too received the larger CPAP and since then it has been harder for him to remove it on his own.  

As I was saying at the beginning of this post, I have a very competitive nature.  It is something that I learned growing up.  Crichelle and I were having a conversation as we walked into the NICU this evening.  She seems to believe that I am going to let Jordan and Jaxon beat me at things.  Ha, whatever, the boys are going to know that when they beat daddy it is going to be a momentous occasion.  Why would I ruin the thrill of victory for them by allowing them to obtain it so easily.  Don't get me wrong, I am going to continually encourage them to find ways to gain an advantage, but I don't plan on handing them anything.  They will appreciate things a lot better if they have to earn it.  It will also teach them how to overcome obstacles.  So far, they have done a good job overcoming the obstacles that have been placed in front of them.  All of this has been due to the awesome power of God.  Please continue to pray that God, the Great Physician, will continue to show others his strength by the things that he is doing with Jordan and Jaxon.
