battling the snots

hi there! jackson is continuing to play and enjoy himself here in atlanta, though he is now fighting a battle with the snots. his nose has been sooooo clogged since we got here almost two weeks ago. when i called jackson’s nurse, sweet miss mary, she said that “whenever any of my babies go to atlanta they come back with the snots…. somethin’ about atlanta…. the smog…. the pecans….. whateva it is, my babies come back with the snots.” (we LOVE miss mary!) the toughest part about it is that since jackson can’t breathe through his nose, he can’t latch on to his bottle and eat. so mom and i are now feeding jackson with a syringe so that he can swallow a little bit of formula at a time while being able to breathe through his mouth. (it takes FOREVER!!!!) a prescription for a decongestant is being called in for him and once that starts to dry him up a bit, i think we’ll be able to get him back on the bottle. the feedings are a battle for us (as they always seem to be…. when will my son actually enjoy eating?!?!) but “it’snot” keeping jackson from being the sweet, silly magoo that he is. :)
