Not sure if today was a good day or not
This morning Koa was doing good he was only needing 40% oxygen from the ventilator and was not being so sensitive to being moved or touched. So Koa seemed to be fine on the outside and all his stats were looking ok. But he must have been listening to his good night story about not judging a book by its cover. Because the doctor told us that he still has the high blood pressure in his lungs and that there is a semi new problem. Koa's heart muscle is starting to get thick from the EKG that they did this morning. They think that the thickening could be caused by a few things. Like the high blood pressure in his lungs the medication that he is on for his high blood pressure in his lungs. This is common in these very little guys, but that it is reversible. So the doctors are going to lessen some of the medication doses and see what happens. But all I can do is wait and pray that every thing works the way we want it to I'm feeling better now so have been able to go see him he looks like he has grown since I last saw him. The nurse tonight said that he weighed 810 grams about 1.8 pounds and they measured his leg diameter so that they could size a blood pressure cuff for him and it was the same size as my pointer finger. So that might be a good picture for every one I think his leg measured at like 6 centimeters around.
so for now all we can do is pray that Koa's heart gets back to normal and that his high blood pressure in his lungs gets better. Thanks to every one for there prayers and gifts.
we love you all
Koa, Courtnie and Jeremiah Bachert

hey jere, sent you and email...I'm praying for you, court, koa and our families. may God help us all through this and help to stregnthen Koa.Luv RB
Jeremiah, Courtney and little Koa-
It is so amazing to think how small he is. It's even more amazing to know how well he's done even though he is so small. He is truely a strong little boy and he will grow up to be a strong big boy that drives you and Courtney bonkers. :-)
I will pray that Koa does well with the less medication and that it will help his heart. Maybe that just means it's time to give Koa more credit on what he's accomplished and to trust him and God that this is whats right for him.
Everything will work itself out. I truely believe that if God has let you have you beautiful son for this long that he will help you get through the rest of this.
You two are already amazing parents and you are going to be one of the closest familys out there because of what you have been through together.
Take care of yourselves and each other. And remember that we are all thinking of you and praying for you.
Lots of Love-
Niki, Dave and Zack
