Last night he got his blood transfusion from Tyson. He is already doing remarkably better on oxygen, requiring only 45 percent now versus mid 60s to 70s yesterday and the scare of 100 yesterday morning. (room air the rest of us use is 21 percent oxygen). Jacob hasn't been this low in about a week. Thanks so much to Tyson for giving him the gift of blood, it is making such a difference, you can't imagine how happy I am to see his stats today.
Again the doctor came over first thing when I arrived this morning. She said he is doing well, will get the second part of the transfusion tonight and that we will not need to worry about steroids if he continues to stay below 70!!! So please keep up the prayers for Jacobs lungs and pray specifically for him to be able to come off the respirator on his own without steroids.
So proud of our little fighter today!
