Oxygen Test

Jacob is off oxygen again. This is a test to see if he should go home on oxygen or not. When he is on it, it is such a slight amount, but it has helped him keep his oxygen saturation stable, and he seems to need it during feedings.

If he does well without it, including during feedings, he will not go home on oxygen. But if he can't keep his saturation up or does poorly during feedings, he will go back on and come home on oxygen.

Going home off oxygen would be great, but on the other hand having it available along with a monitoring system as safety net would be nice after all we have been through.

So we're praying for Jacob to do well now off oxygen and/or for God to give us and the doctors a clear sign of whether or not Jacob will need to come home on oxygen.
