I can't believe that tomorrow Jack will be 18 months
old. It seems like just yesterday that he was still in the NICU and
I was trying to wrap my head around all of this. That my son had brain
damage. That he could have cerebral palsy. That he might suffer
from epilepsy. That he didn't take his first breath for 6
minutes. That he would need a G tube to survive. All things a new
mother doesn't want to hear.
Over the past year and a half I have grown as a person
and a mother. Jackson has taught me to take things slow. He
will do things on his own time. It took me a long time to realize
this. I wanted him to be normal and to prove all the doctors wrong.
I have come to accept that he's just Jackson. And the best that he can
be! I love that little man with all my heart and every little
accomplishment makes me giddy inside. Happy 18 months Little Man!!!!
