Jacob is off of the ventilator! He was extubated yesterday, and is doing really well. He is on a lot of oxygen, but they are slowly weaning it. Steve and I got to hold him again last night. It has been 12 days since we held him, so it was great. He was smiling at us and making cute baby sounds. He is still pretty puffy, but he is acting like my baby again.
Jacob right before they extubated. He had been pulling at all of the tubes so they put sock on his hands, then he started hitting them. He really wants them out.
So nice to be held.
I'm SO glad you guys got to hold him again. May he continue to progress well!
ReplyDeleteYAY for extubation! Steve and I were laughing at the pics of Jeremiah the other day. Love yall
ReplyDeleteI saw Michelle Clark on my comments and thought "Who is that?" I couldn't believe that you had a blog!! What a wonderful miracle! Thanks for posting and letting us know about his progress. You were meant to be a nurse Michelle-how lucky that you understand all of the terms you have thrown at you. I love you and pray for you and Jacob every day.
