Jacob is still on his oxygen support. The oxygen content in his blood bounces, especially after he's been active, had a lot of visitors, or has just eaten. By being active we mean after he has screamed bloody murder while having his diaper changed. He lay there so quiet and passive for so long, that I'm actually happy when I hear him scream now. That sounds really cruel, and it probably kind of is. But we talk him through this most traumatic event, and he settles down pretty quickly.
He's receiving oral feedings every other time now. The other feedings he receives through the tube that runs in his nose down to his stomach. They have increased the amount he's getting now to 40 cc's, or 1 and 1/3 ounces. That's good news.
Other than that, there's really no news. We're beginning to come to terms with the fact that he may not be home with us on Christmas. We keep praying though, and we know you will, too. There's still a week left.
We just miss our little boy. We want him home.
