Every day Kody is showing a little more progress. Two a.m. Friday morning they clamped the ecmo machine to see how his heart and lungs were doing. His oxygen levels stayed up for five minutes before they dropped. Then they are trying a different medicine for his lungs after that improvement. Before lunch they tried again and he stayed off for 25 minutes before it started dropping. So now the plan is to increase the ventilator settings and try to bring him off the ecmo machine. They are really wanting to get his chest closed because of the risk of the infection. The doctors are pleased with his heart and working hard on getting his lungs to open up. I'm so thankful for the knowledge the doctors and nurses have to be able to take care of him.
This morning when I went in they showed me the oneise that he had on. The night nurse had given him a bath and put that on him. He's almost three weeks old and that's the first outfit he's had on. Just keep praying that he'll be off everything and we can finally hold him again.
Love all you guys and appreciate everything you've done for us.

- 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.
