Thank you for the constant prayers! Ezra has stabled out. He is requiring 45-55% oxygen, which is a vast improvement from days ago. He weighs 2lbs 13oz now, I'm hoping he hits 3lbs on my Birthday (Tuesday)! He's 14inches long. He is on the low end of the growth curve, but as long as he's on the curve no one is worried. He was given a dose of lasix to see if that would help improve his "wet lungs". It seems to have helped. He was also given a few does of potassium and his heart arrhythmia has stopped. His blood gases are slowly improving with each day. He's also back on the conventional ventilator, so no more vibrating baby. We are SO THANKFUL for the turn around! It's nice to take a deep breath and not feel like we are hanging off the edge of a cliff.
He's beginning to suck on his fingers and breathing tube! Which are all good signs! We just need his lungs to heal and grow to get this breathing tube out. It's hard to believe he's 6 weeks old. This has been the hardest 6 weeks of our lives, but we are so thankful for Ezra he's the greatest blessing and worth it all!
I know we ask for constant prayers for Ezra, but if you could also pray for our 5 other children. Their world has been turned upside down. They are showing signs of stress in various ways (illness and attitudes). Our only hope is at the end of this God would be glorified and our family could be pieced back together.
