Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone; but, still miraculously, my own.
Never forget, for a single minute you didn't grow under my heart, but in it.

Day 14 PICU (day 17 hospital
Today marks 2 weeks in Pediatric Intensive Care at the amazing Sutton's Children's Hospital!! Things are improving but Jeremiah is still a very sick baby! He is in critical condition but doing much better! Basically the procalcitonin is a level in the blood that is watched when someone with Sepsis. When Jeremiah was very first getting very sick his level was 500 times what someone with sepsis has so he basically had super, super sepsis!! Now it is down to only 4 times greater than normal sepsis. So a huge improvement but still much sicker than most people with sepsis. The double pneumonia is looking better as well!! His 2 chest tubes are draining and taking care of the 2 plueral effusioms. The doctor says he has been very sick for a long time and it is a miracle he lived as long as he did. They said it is possible the docs in Taiwan never tested for sepsis since it is not a standard thing you run unless youbare looking for it. Please keep praying for Jeremiah as he battels all of this infections. The goal is to try and start weaning him off the ventilator and see how it goes!!! Scary bit exciting too!!! Noah is an amazing big brother!! Inso wish I could figure out how to post pics from my phone !! Yesterday he stood on a stool and helps stimulate Jeremiah when we were trying to keep the blood pressure up! Got an adorable picture!!! Thank you all for followong along and praying and loving us so much fro

Jeremiah has severe pneumonia and sepsis that we ate battling . His fever keeps spiking even after tins of antibiotics so we worry their is something we are not finding. I worry with fever because his big seizures were with fever. Also everytime thr fever gets high then like the next day we have crisis issues all day. So praying against that today. This is so hard to sit here and watch him fight on the vent and all and nit be able yo hold him , feed him , comfurt him, take care of Jim in any way. There are days things are so bad they don't let me touch him ! I want to scream and say healing touch is what he needs and plus do you know waited 14 months to hold that baby, to touch him, to snuggle and kiss and feed and change his diapers and now even myers touch at times us nit allowed !! Uggj! I know God has a plan and is teaching me something in all this and I try so hard to trust and NOT be scarred but all to often I fail! Today is day 16 in hospital and day 13 in icy and I am so ready for evidence if the healing!!! Friday july 2nd us my bithday and family is asking what do I want??? I want to hold my baby, I want to give him a bottle, I want us all in the same room at sane time.
Please forgive this post and for probably sharing too much. Please keep praying for Jeremiah!!!!

So they said there are 2 bacteria growing in lungs they are battling. Intensivist says it is from aspiration for a long time and its a very bad case and it was brewing in there "long before he came to surgery" there is so much fluid in pluetal cavity that it took a long while to get that bad. Thank God we were in hospital and not on plane when it came to a head!

The First Picture we ever saw of:
Kisses in the Wind
KISSES IN THE WIND
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I sent to you each night.
