Just back from visiting with Jacob and his nurse of the night. More encouraging news. Of course, he is still a very sick little boy, but every piece of good news is encouraging. They have cut his NO (nitric oxide) from 20ppm to 10ppm. And, they have increased his milk feedings from 5cc to 15cc every 3 hours. His oxygen levels are still a little low, but nearly as low as previously. And, they are holding at these levels with 1/2 the NO, which they told us was what was helping to open up his blood vessels in his lungs to increase his blood flow and oxygen levels.
Please continue to pray for little Jacob's oxygen levels, and that he continues to improve daily.
Don't forget: Jacob is at Medical City Children's Hospital Dallas - 7777 Forest LN, Dallas, TX 75230 - Care Tower A - North Tower - 4th Floor - NICU
We are at the Homestead Villages - 12121 Coit RD, Dallas, TX - Room 216
