We’ve made it to day 14!!!
The doctor’s told us the very first day that there would be some major up’s and down’s during the first two weeks of Jake’s life. Brain bleeds, Intestinal problems, heart stopping and lung control were the four major things that they said would highly influence the life that Jake may or might not get to have. So far I can say that the doctor’s are not only surprised at how well he has done by not getting any huge problem, but they are quite thrilled at the lack of any of these major obstacles.
Today we were told that Jake has a 95% chance of not only living --- but being quite normal as well. Going from a 5-10% chance of living to a 95% chance is a major triumph for us. We can’t believe how much our lives have changed in the span of 2 weeks. But we are proud and excited to say that Jake is doing remarkably well!!! The doctor’s think he has a long time left in the NICU (like August) but they are giving us idea’s of when he will be coming home to our family, and that is a good sign to me.
Wow, I continue to be amazed. :)
