Wednesday's News

Hi All,

I only have a few minutes, but just wanted to let you all know that Jackson is doing really well. He is totally off oxygen and is breathing wonderfully on his own. It is still looking like his difficulty breathing wasn't due to anything serious, but we will know tomorrow evening when his blood cultures come back. He is being given antibiotics as a precautionary measure until we find out about his cultures. We hope he will be out of the NICU by tomorrow evening, and maybe even released on Friday.

We are getting ready to go into a meeting with the birthmother and our Bethany social worker. This process has been more difficult for the mom than she thought it would be, and even though she is still quite sure she is going to go through with it she is having a hard time. Please pray for us as we go talk with her, that we will be gracious and loving, and show God's compassion no matter what the outcome. We hope to have a better feel for how things are looking after our meeting with her.

We are headed home after this meeting to spend tonight at home with Grant. He is still quite sick, and will be getting a dose of antibiotics since it seems he may be getting a secondary infection. Thank you all for your prayers. We'll keep you informed of any new developments.

~Stephen and Jill
