First of all PRAISE THE LORD for this week.
Colby is having an amazing week and we are so thankful for all of you who are praying constantly for our little boy. Our God is listening and his healing hand is holding Colby's all the time.
Colby is doing great on the ventilator. His gases have been good so they are weening his pressures and amplitude down. Tonight he was at 9.5 mean pressure, 19 amplitude, and hovering between 40% - 50% on his oxygen.
Last night his weight was down to 1lb 11oz which the doctor was happy about because he was getting rid of the fluid. Tonight he was back up to 2lbs 1oz. Obviously that is a lot of swing in his weight for a 48 hour period and we will find out more about that tomorrow.
His blood counts have been good over the last couple of days. He is starting to produce his own platelets rather than having the nurses give them to him from a syringe, wich means they are getting the infection under control and that is very good news.
At noon today they started back on his feedings. 1cc every twelve hours. Hopefully his tummy will tolerate this and they will be able to increase the amount over the next few days.
"Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be open." Matthew 7:7-8
Prayer is an amazing thing. Please continue to pray with us for Colby that he will continue to have good days and weeks.
