Koa is off the ventilator!
This morning I went to see Koa at 7am and he was doing really good. The RT said that they are going to get him off the ventilator when ever the nurse is ready. I went and asked the nurse she said at 9am. So I left to get some sleep. I went back and they needed to wait for a doctor to stand by. So it happened at 10:43am and he did awesome! I was so scared cause of last time. I had another mom there with me and she took some pictures cause I couldn't watch them that out that tube. Not knowing what could happen. But it went good. He is at 26% oxygen and he is on the c-pap. I don't think he likes it cause he can hear his own cry and it scares him some times.
He is tolerating the feedings still. He lost some weight do to the steroids, only like .5 an oz.
Thank you everyone for all the prayers and support.
Thank you God for helping Koa today and giving him strength that he needed to stay off the vent.
Love
Koa, Jeremiah and Courtnie

WOOHOO, Koa! You did it! This is wonderful news. He'll get used to the sound of his crying before too long - and so will you. And what a great sound that is! I'm thrilled for all of you. I hope Jeremiah got to be there for the big moment as well. Take care - love, Jan
