Jackson was born August 2008 with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), a rare congenital heart defect affecting the left ventrical and aorta. Three days after he was born he had the first of three open heart surgeries at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City, UT. In January 2009 he had his 2nd surgery, the Glenn, and in May 2012 he had his third open heart surgery, the Fontan. He is currently doing great and you would hardly know he's anything but perfectly healthy. He's sweet, cute, and as wonderful as they come and such a joy in our lives.
He made it and is officially ventilator free! His voice is pretty hoarse, but it's so good to hear him cry and see that cute little face again. He even started sucking on his pacifier again fairly quickly. What a trooper :)
OH, and their cute little cries...they sound like little baby cats. Jack had that soft cry for months after leaving the hospital. It's really sad- but super cute.

that bodes REALLY WELL for the swallow test! I can't believe he is sucking on a binky. Jack never really took that on.
