Yesterday was rough
Yesterday was one of those days that we were hoping not to have. It started out the night before when Koa was showing signs of pulmonary hypertension. Meaning that he was getting high blood pressure in his lungs. This is caused buy the blood vessels in his lungs tightening up because his body still wants to be inside his mommy. Koa had this same problem about a week ago and the doctors treated it with oxygen and it went away. This time the oxygen wasn't helping so they tried to increase his blood volume to increase his blood pressure in the rest of his body. They also gave him a gas called nitric oxide but all day it seemed like these things were doing nothing or very little to help him get oxygen into his blood. So the doctor told us that it wasn't looking like there was much else to do other than give him meds to make his Blood pressure go up so they did that and told us that if this didn't work that it was up to Koa and God and they were going to stop the nitric oxide. This was very disconserning to Courtnie and I because the doctors were saying that they were nearing the limitations of science. So we had no other choice but to pray and pray and pray that god would take care of Koa, knowing that God is the healer of all sickness. Last night when we finely came back to our room Koa was showing signs that the treatment was helping and buy this morning he was doing somewhat better and has seemed to get better throughout the day. All I can do is thank God for his help last night and thank every one for there prayers.
Also Koa Courtnie and I thank every one for the gifts of love
and thanks to all of our friends and family for the support that we have gotten.
I am also asking that every one pray for the other baby's in this hospital and all the other hospitals all over the world thank you all for every prayer and every thought and all the love that we have gotten.
we love you all

Jeremiah, Courtney and Koa-
We are sorry to hear that you are having more hard times, we are all praying that these will become fewer and farther between. Stay strong and know that lots of people love you all and are praying for Koa's health and your strength through all of this.
I know it has been a difficult journey and there is still more to come but I truely believe in the power of prayer and the power of love. You are all loved so much and I know, being a mom, how much you love Koa and that he's the luckest boy I know to have such good parents as you two are.
We are thinking of you and praying everyday for Koa to become a big strong boy, just like his daddy.
Niki, Dave and Zackarie
Our love is with you through these rough periods. As many lows you have there are always double highs. Think of all the highs and keep positive that this strong little warrior has come this far and taught us all the power of love and prayer. With you and Courtnie by his side he will get stronger faster. Take care and know we love you and only wish for the best. Hugs and love to you all.
Aunt Lori, Uncle Mike, Matt, Chris, Shannon and Colleen
