Koa had a stressful day.

This morning they found out that his blood culture came back negative yesterday instead of positive. Something happened to the paper work. But thet tripled checked it and it was negative which is good. When they found out that they wanted to put in a central line so they don't have to keep giving him IV's every 12 hours. Because of the antibiotics are really rough on his veins. They tried once this morning and once this afternoon and once this evening and they couldn't get it. So Koa looks like a pin board. We feel really bad for him but we know it will be better for him once they get it.
Koa is doing pretty good. His Oxygen requirements are between 21% to 26%. His is 4lb. 7oz. Today we went to take pictures of him and we forgot the camera card in the computer. So maybe tomorrow we will get some pictures. Other than that he is doing good.
Thank you everyone for all the prayers, support and Love.
Thank you God for keeping Koa strong!
Love
Koa, Jeremiah and Courtnie

Thanks again for the updates,Hope-
fully they'll be able to keep Koa
on the right track as well as them-selves.It's hard to imagine all the strength Koa has in that he has been able to endure all the tests and everything they have done to him so far. He has a very strong will to pull through all of this and with God's help he'll keep them on their toes all the more. They must be learning a lot from him in just how strong one little man can be. Keep up your strength and trust in God and your
good judgement in Koa's care. Love
& hugs Greatgrandma & Greatgrandpa

Jeremiah and Courtney-

Sorry I didn't get a chance to come see the web page yesterday. I was at the ER with Zack at 9 in the morning getting him stitches... oh the things you have to look forward to when Koa is older.
Koa does look great! I am glad to hear he's gaining wieght. It's hard to see him get stuck so many times, I know I wanted to cry with Zack getting stitches. But at least you know its for the better and that it will help him.
Please take care and remember that we are thinking of you always and keeping you in our daily prayers.

Love-

Niki, Dave and Zack
