Wednesday Morning Update

Luke is still hanging in there. His chest x-ray has showed this morning that his left lung is re-inflated but he still continues to have only mid-60% oxygen saturation (instead of the preferred 80-90%). The doctors are continuing to give him as much ventilator support as they can and blood products to help with the saturation of oxygen. They said the problem is that his blood vessels are immature so they leak out fluid into his abdomen. The fluid needs to stay in his vessels to carry oxygen. They have a limited amount of medicine/intervention they can do for Luke.

Please pray that the medicine does start to work and he can carry more oxygen. So far all of the prayers have been answered for us in some way. Russell and I really believe he can make it. Please help us all by saying some prayers on his behalf. Thanks.
