Morning Update---BIG NEWS!!!!

I just couldn't wait until this evening to put this morning's check-in information up so here is the update when Jason called this morning and talked with Angela:

-His platelet count was still holding steady around 66,000 which is wonderful!  He is building up the platelets on his own and not needing to be replenished so often which is wonderful!  PRAISE!!!  We are going in a positive direction on this.

-Colby is still on his antibiotics but they seem to be helping which is another big PRAISE!!!

-They haven't started his feeding yet but hopefully that should be sometime this week---we don't want to start that too soon and run into trouble but we want to get him back on getting more nutrients to help his little body grow stronger and stronger. PRAYER---that his little body will be ready for food soon!

-His oxygen is down to...(are you sitting down????) 26%!!!!!!!  PRAISE!! PRAISE!!! PRAISE!!!  This is wonderful news!  I know that we are probably going to go back up but I am thankful that we made some progress to this point!  What a wonderful piece of morning news!  (Just to give you an idea, we breathe 21% oxygen)  He is getting closer on this setting and if we can continue making progress on the other settings (amplitude and mean pressure) we will work our way to the other ventilator again.

Please keep praising and  praying---God is listening!
