My Wonderful Family

In May of 2001, nearly 3 weeks late, Jackson George was born into our family. Because he was so far overdue, he had started running out of nourishment, & there were alot of complications. He had to be born through a "crash" C-Section as he could not tolerate labor. He had started losing weight in the womb from malnutrition, making him look disproportionate. This caused alot of alarm with the doctors for which they ended up running extensive genetic tests. Because of his low birth weight he also ended up suffering from both apnea & jaundice during our week in the hospital. However, it didn't take long for him to establish himself as a very healthy, independent little boy. He has such a strong fighting spirit that alot of times mommy & daddy have to remind themselves that was the only thing that kept him alive for a while. And he did gain one advantage from his overmaturity, in his ability to pick things up at a very advanced rate. He still is an amazingly fast learner.

Jackson took his first name from his maternal great great grandfather, and as for his middle name, he is at least the 5th Generation eldest male in my family to take that name.
