Jackson Has Left the Building

Jackson has left the hospital and the doctors are happy with his progress. Now it is time to pray for the parent's sleep and schedule. Thank you everyone for your prayers and encouragement! We love you all!

Daniel, Hannah & Baby Jack Cassels

Day 3 down…here we come day 4…

Praise God that even though Jack is a bit jaundice and slow in his eating, he was moved to the level II NICU! Please pray for a better appetite and a better tan so that we can take him home! Thank you for all of your prayers and encouragement! We love you all! – The Cassels -

Baby Jack's 1st Baby Sitters

Don't worry Grandma Louise... we have baby Jack taken care of for you! Thank you for sending us!

He's Here!

Our baby boy is here! Jackson Robert Cassels was born Monday, August 24, 2009 at 5:56 pm. Weighing at 5 lb. 5 oz. and measured at 16.5 inches he is a great size for a 35 weeker. Every moment baby Jack is improving and has already been taken off of oxegyn help, had his food increased and though he is a little jaundice if he keeps poop'en the way he is, will be out of the NICU in no time at all. Please keep praying for his continued improvement and we are hoping to bring home the whole family this Friday!

The Big Day is Here!

The big day is finally here. The test for lung maturity came back positive so they will deliver Jackson tonight at 5:30 pm. Please keep praying for Hannah & Jackson through out this process. I will be posting pictures as soon as I can. Thank you all for your encouragement and prayers!

Thanks and Keep Pray'en!

We are doing great! Thank you everyone for the encouragement and thank you Grandma Louise for the awesome gift (pictured above!). We found out that the fluid went up a little but not enough to send Hannah home. Unless there is a major change on Friday or Monday they will do a test on Monday to find out if Jackson's lungs are mature. If they are mature then they will look at scheduling a C-section and if not they may just send Hannah home because she has been so stable. So for now it is a waiting game. Please pray that God will give us as well as the doctor’s wisdom in what action to take and that when Jackson does come that he will be physically ready.

Thank You!

Thank you so much for everyone’s prayers and encouragement. There is no doubt that God has been answering prayers. Even though we were told again today that we are not leaving anytime soon, we are feeling great, Jackson is in great health and growing. In addition, God is giving us opportunities to share with the nurses and build some wonderful relationships. Praise God!
