Wednesday, 2/23

Unfortunately our little trooper is pretty sick. He does have an infection although they have not yet determined the source or type. It is taking a toll on that little boy. They have started antibiotics to treat him but he is really struggling from a respiratory standpoint. When we left they had switched him back to the conventional ventilator (from the oscillator) so we will see how that goes. His numbers are much higher than they have been, especially his oxygen requirement, which is concerning. Also complicating things is his PDA (the flap in his heart we talked about last week) which has reopened. They are trying to treat it again with the Indocin. It was a scary day, it has been a scary few days. Again we appreciate and need your prayers, love, and "strong world conquering thoughts" (thanks David ;) We love you all.

What shines so beautifully through all this is the abundant faith, hope, and love that flows so freely on its way to Princeton and the three of you who are so much in my thoughts and prayers. Beautiful Dinky was born to beautiful parents. Love you lots. Wish I could fix things.
