Peep of 5!

Yesterday the doctor ordered your cpap peep (pressure) be lowered to a 5.He wanted it done at 11pm, and then get a blood gas as 2am to make sure you are tolerating the change.  We had a special family prayer time just about the peep change. When we called at a 11:50pm the respiratory therapist had yet to change any settings. Daddy was a bit frustrated, noting happens when they say it will up that hospital. I waited and watched the clock like a hawk to call and hear how you were handling the change and your gas.  I called shortly after 2am, the nurse said you were zonked out and didn't even  wake up for the blood draw. (You were awake from 5-11, and pretty fussy). Your gas came back at 50. The lowest number it's been in weeks!!!! The doctors like you between 45-55. Lately you've been hanging around 60. We are thrilled your gas is low! Now we have to sit and wait and make sure you don't get too tired. A pressure of 5 is pretty close to the pressure mom and dad breathe without a machine (4 1/2). We trust God will carry you through and bring you home soon.

In words of your sister "Jesus, please bring Ezra home soon, because we are just so sad without him."

Love you to the moon and back!
