Today was an okay day. The nurse switched Jacob back to the hi flow and he has had less A's and B's. They also backed down on his feeding to 11 mL and increased the heparin (sp?) because of the amount of vomitting he had yesterday. He was tested for infection, but the results came back negative. That's a great thing! However, they think he might have reflux. If so, they will give him some medication to help him keep his milk down. He continues to have bowel movements. In fact, after we changed his poopie diaper this evening, we checked his diaper again and he pee-d all over his bedding. Jeremiah laughed while I was in shock. I didn't think he could aim that far! Anyway, they are continuing his caffeine every 12 hours to help with the A's and B's. The nurses say he should grow out of it as he matures. Jeremiah is more calm about it than I am. I don't think I'll ever get use to the alarms no matter how hard I try. Jacob is making progress...at this point it's learning about what his needs are and going from there.

thank you for the updates, Jacob is constantley in our thoughts and prayers, there is not a prayer uttered in this house without Jacob's name in it. Matthew has written a few letters to Jacob already and Ellie likes to draw pictures of him. They can't wait to meet him.

I read your blog daily and can't wait to see how baby Jacob is doing. He's a beautiful baby and I'm so thankful he's doing so well.. our God is awesome! It was great seeing you yesterday, too! Your family will continue to be in our prayers; it's great knowing God is in control.
