I just though I would update everyone of this week's progress. After Sunday when they tried to take him off the ecmo machine they decided to give him a few days of rest. So we've just been hanging out with Kody. His blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels have been great.

We did have a little excitement Tuesday morning when some air got into the lines of the ecmo machine. They aren't sure where the air got in from but it cause a pretty big excitement trying to get the air out befor it flowed through the circuit. The first time was at three in the morning and then again at eight. They decided to change machines and hasn't happened again.

We talked to the doctors today and they plan on trying to get him off the machine Thursday. They have surgery in the morning and depending on how long that takes they will try when they get out of OR. I guess if the surgery takes to long they will wait till Friday morning. They said his lungs are looking a lot better and this afternoon we actually seen him trying to take some breaths on his own! I hope that was a good sign. With the ventilator and the ecmo machine he doesn't breath on his own. It's odd to watch him lay there and not see his chest moving. But we were talking this afternoon and seen his little chest moving up and down. We did see him raise his eye brows too. This may seem like little things but with him being so sedated for two weeks we look forward to those little movements.

I hope and pray that Kody can get off the ecmo tomorrow. We'll be so glad to get him better and bring him home. It's been a long three weeks already.

We can't thank everyone enough for everything that you've done for us. We'll never know what all has been done but it hasn't gone unnoticed. I know we've been blessed with wonderfull friends, family and co-workers and we are so thankfull for all of you. Please keep praying for Kody and his recovery. He has been a strong fighter through all of this and your prayers have brought us this far.
