Romans 12 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
Please continue to pray with us. Its been a month now. I never thought I would count Levi's B-day in months but here I am. I am really just counting it in days. Of course we should celebrate this achievment though. One month ago Levi was born and I thought there was no way he would live. That may sound terrible to some but I knew nothing about preemies. It also shows a lack of faith on my part I know. Now through strong prayer support Levi has beaten the odds. He is a long way from being out of the woods. I still must give thanks that he has lived this long. Lets just keep praying and giving God thanks for every day. The winds of the storm continue to blow but our house can't be taken down. No matter what we will still proclaim victory.
Levi gave us quite a scare tonight. He had a mucus plug in his vent tube. It took a little while to figure out what was happening. He turned white as a ghost on us and his oxygen saturation dropped from the 90s to the 30s. He came through it just fine once the clog was suctioned out. I have to admit being the one who is normally not shaken. I was scared for his life. This was just another reminder of how delicate life is.
Other than that he had a quiet day. He is getting extubated tomorrow. The doctor wanted to give him one more day and plan out the attack. They think this time will be it but no promises. This will happen around 10 am so please join us in praying. Levi had his feeds increased again. He is getting closer to getting off of the IV fluids. He is no longer getting lipids because he is getting enough fat from her milk.
For my prayer warriors
Levi - To stay off the vent. No infections. Continue to tolerate the milk. No swelling.
Trent & Anjie - peace & rest
He.is.beautiful. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful boy! And he has grown so much in the last month. I look forward to checking in on you guys daily. Levi has reminded me how precious life is and that we should celebrate every day we have with our loved ones, not just the ones marked as special on a calendar. Much love, prayers, and best wishes to the three of you.
