David made it over the hump--he now weighs 3 lbs. 1 oz.!His breaths per minute tonight were at 40. He has been doing so well the last two days that they're going to turn them down to 35 before his blood gasses test in the morning. (To check his blood gasses, they draw blood from his heel). Those levels determine whether or not he's getting enough oxygen and whether or not they can turn it down. The goal is to keep turning it down and to eventually wean him off of it. If he can't handle having the oxygen turned down to 35, it will show up in his blood gasses right away. His O2's been at 38-45. It's at 44% right now.
John changed David's diaper again tonight (the second time ever!), and took his temperature for the first time under each arm.
David got another sponge bath today and loved it.
Susan didn't go to see him today since she's been feeling sick. She said that John got to do more, which was sweet.
Prayer Requests
Susan has been having intense knee pain. She plans to see a doctor about it since it hasn't subsided and it's been increasingly difficult for her to walk.

Her milk supply continues to go down, and David's feeds continue to go up. She needs prayer for her milk supply to increase since David is quickly catching up with what she's producing.
Please continue to pray for David's lungs and brain.
And that's all for tonight!
