A Plateau

Is what it feels like to me. Jack is still on the billiblanket, which has made him very sleepy the last two days. They'll check the level again tomorrow morning. He hasn't been drinking from a bottle or nursing because he's not waking up at meal times, but he's still gaining weight and is at about 4lbs12oz. Jack is still in the incubator, but it is set at the coolest setting and he isn't getting cold. He'll probably have to maintain that for a couple days before they'll try to put him in a crib. Today Jack's oxygen level and respiration rate were dropping periodically. The nurses didn't say what the cause would be, but will be watching it. That was unnerving and made me kind of anxious, which I haven't felt yet about his health. Please keep praying.

Karen,
I am praying for you and thinking about you often. It was so wonderful to see you tonight at church. I pray that you felt met by the Lord and refreshed for the next few days on this journey. I love you!
