I'm getting a little delirious so hope this makes sense.
Jake had somewhat of a rough morning. Around 4ish his pulse, blood pressure and temperature went up. His saturation rate went down. That's all bad.
They iced him down, oxygened him up (is that a word?) and gave him more drugs. Bing-bam-boom... he's looking good again.
So bottom line he's right back where he needs to be. Thank you Lord. Got a little nervous for a while.
During rounds the doctor came and talked to us. Said he was not concerned about anything.. that his chest x-ray looked good, his blood gas was nice and said to give him a little time.
Also they took out his chest tube and removed the dressing over his incision so we saw it for the first time. Let's just say it's impressive and ya know... it didn't bother me like I thought it would.
That's it for now... he's sleeping good. I'll check in later. Thanks again for everything.

We are still here, still praying. Thanks for the updates. Please get some rest. I know it must be very difficult to rest, just know that he is in good hands with the doctors and nurses and most importantly God.
Love ya, Amanda C.
We are praying constantly. I hope you have managed to get some sleep, Jen. You need to be rested and in good spirits to show Jake how to be strong. Glad to hear the doctor feels everything is progressing the way it should. Have faith in his word. I know, that is easier said than done, but please keep trying. It takes time for the body to heal.
Thanks for your wonderful updates and also for conveying exactly how you are reacting to all of this. Keep talking honey...we are g lad to hear what you are thinking. Right now, we are praying very hard for you and Dave. Everyday will get less stressful..... God bless.

We are still praying for everyone involved with Jake. Big gulp on the incision but one day he will be able to tell people that's from the time that God performed a miracle in his life. Take care of you!
Love ya,
