Back on ventilator
Well... Jonah is back on the ventilator for a time because he was struggling yesterday to breathe. They think it's possibly because he may have an irritation or inflammation in his windpipe/trachea from the ventilator tube. They will give him steroids to deal with the inflammation and then try again in a few days maybe. They are also taking a culture to see if there is an infection. This is all a bit of trial and error unfortunately, but we know that God is the great physician and Jonah is still (as always) in His hands. Please keep Jonah in your prayers for comfort, healing and the ability to breathe on his own. Thank you for your words of encouragement and prayers. Nancy

I remember the excitement we felt when our son came off the vent, & then the frustration we felt when he had to go back on, so I am sorry that you are having to experience this, but I love reading your posts because you are so patient with God, allowing & trusting Him to have complete control. It's a wonderful thing that the doctors believed Jonah was well enough to "try"... and this is not a set back, but a step in the right direction! I pray that you would not be discouraged that he had to go back on, but encouraged that one of these times he will be off for good!!
oh yeah, I forgot to say I LOVE the new pictures!!! He is ADORABLE!!!
