Last time I posted a blog we were hoping to get Kody off the ecmo machine. Monday they found out his right lung had collapsed and didn't take him off the machine. They ran a scope down his lung and found some blood clots. Through out the night they suctioned his lungs and had him on some medicine to help clear his lungs. Today his lung looked better and tried to bring him off the machine again. His heart looked great while he was off the machine but his lung still wasn't working the way it should. His blood pressure and his oxygen levels both started to drop so they put him back on the machine. Before we left tonight they did a bronchoscopy and didn't see any thing preventing his lungs to open. They did put him on a ventilator to help the lung expand.
They seem to have high hopes to get him off the machine tomorrow. Hopefully we'll have success. Just keep us in your prayers that everything will work out.
We can't tell you enough how much we appreciate everyone's kindness right now. God has blessed us with a wonderful family and circle of friends.
About Me

- Hi! For those of you that don't know me I'm Jamie Jones and I've been married to Marc for six years. We have a four year old daughter Katie and expecting a son Kody! We are scheduled for delivery June 22, 2009 I've always been a private person and didn't want my personal life posted for everyone to read. But the other night I came across a blog that really made me think different. A few months ago we found out our son is going to be born with a heart defect. So researching trying to find out as much as I can I found a family that is going through the same thing and it has really touched my heart. Their outlook and faith in God was really what I needed that night. I feel like I was lead to their page for a reason. I've thought about them often today and decided to post my own blog. We have a lot of family and friends that are praying for us and this will help keep them posted.
