Rejoice!

My mom called today...

Good news makes my heart hop!

August was taken off of the heart and lung machine a few days ago and put on another, similar machine. His second lung began to properly inflate, and after pumping gunk out of his lung, the x-rays showed that the lung was clear, so last night, doctors began to wean him off the second machine. He's been completely off the heart and lung machine for a few hours now, and his oxygen levels are still within an acceptable range.

If all goes well, he will be eventually be taken off the respirator, and instead of being fed intravenously, he will be tube-fed, which means that he can be nourished with his momma's milk.

Praise the Creator for tenderly caring for His creation!

Thank you all for your faithful prayers. Please continue praying for August to improve more and more in the coming days.

p.s. I'm having a garage sale. Today's episode is almost over. We've covered a faultless, grassy bank with pounds of junk and 1,500 books (give or take one hundred). Yep. 1,500.
