3 Steps Forward, 1 Step Back

Jacob has made some serious progress forward. He is taking his bottle at every other feeding now. That's awesome. He's been taken out of his isolette and is kept warm and cozy, wrapped up in blankets. This means he's been maintaining his body temperature well. He's had the IV in his arm taken out. These are all really positive steps.

He's taken a small step backwards. He had some fluid on his lungs. They had to put him back on his oxygen support. They've given him some medication to bring the fluid out of his lungs, and hopefully he will be able to go back to breathing room air tomorrow (Thursday 12/14).

Over all, really great positive steps, and one minor misstep. We're still hoping he will be home by Christmas.

Thanks for all the support you've shown us. Thanks especially for your prayers.
