A year ago today
Posted by Kristen on Jul 23, 2008 in Cancer, Child Development, Family Fun, Holiday | 12 commentsA year ago this morning we were in Fairfax, Virginia. Jackson was born at 7:58 AM! The doctor had just told us we likely had many hours ahead of us and then she decided to check again. We were ready to push! He was in distress when he was born so I held him for a split second, Seth cut the cord and he was handed over to the NICU team. He was a fighter and got those lungs going! Despite a huge knot in his cord, mechonium and the cord wrapped 2 times around his neck, he was a bouncing baby boy!
At 2 1/2 months he made his first international move and adjusted better than any of us!
At 9 months, 3 months ago today, Jackson was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma. What a journey that was. And what a miracle he is to us! We are so thankful for him.
Today, we have a healthy, 1 year-old boy! My how he has grown. He is now talking, dancing, giving kisses, clapping, waving, close to walking, and has a personality all his own. He has brightened our lives far more than we could have ever imagined.
Here are some of our favorite pictures from the last 12 months!
Happy Birthday, Jackson!! We love you lots and lots!!
