Saturday evening

We just got back from another visit, but we weren't able to stay long because there was another baby just being admitted that needed a lot of attention. In fact, Bruce didn't even get to go in (he stayed in the lobby with Elijah while Morgan went in first). We are feeling a little exhausted today from the travel back and forth and all the taxis. Tonight on the way home our taxi broke down on a road with a lot of traffic, but no empty taxis because they usually don't drive this way to pick up passengers (meaning all the taxis were full!) so we walked about 1/2 mile to find another taxi. That's a lot for a woman who just gave birth 4 days ago, and for her husband carrying a 25 pound toddler.

No new news on Jonas from this evening. His respiratory rate was really fast again, but he was not laboring to breathe much. They were able to lower the blood pressure medication just a touch again, which is good.

We are looking forward to seeing him in the morning to see the plan for the coming days. We are hoping for some progress in getting the ventilator off soon. Will keep you guys updated. We really appreciate all your emails and prayers...thank you for walking this with us.
