good and bad news...

The good news from today is that Jacob seems to have made it over the hurdle with his breathing. It sounds like the swelling is down and he seems to doing great off the ventilator. We are very grateful. The bad news is that he seems to have another infection - he lost a bunch of weight overnight, his coloring is really grey, and his white blood count is up. He also wasn't digesting his food. So please pray with us that the antibiotics can catch the infection so it doesn't worsen - make him really sick and force him to be put back on the ventilator. This poor kid seems to tackle one hurdle and then be faced with another. These last couple days have been extremely stressful. Thank you for praying for our sweet boy. We'll keep you posted...
