Koa has meningitis...
They found out this morning and switched his antibiotics. They said he will be on medicine for 21 days.
Koa was put back on the ventilator yesterday. He was having a hard time breathing and the doctors wanted to put him back on the ventilator so he didn't need to work as hard so he can fight the infection. He doesn't need much support from the vent. But it is helping him. They said that he might be able to get off the vent in a couple of days. His platelets count is low, they might need to give him a transfusion again.
Koa looks a lot better today than a couple of days ago. He weighs 4Lb.
Tomorrow they are doing a lot more tests tomorrow to see how its going.
Please everybody keep Koa in your prayers. Please!
Thank you everyone for all the prayers and support.
Thank you God for guiding the doctors to do what is right for Koa.
Love
Koa, Jeremiah and Courtnie

We are praying for you. Wht and up and down ride you are having! I hope his weight keeps going up! God bless. Dodie and family
We are always praying for you and little Koa. I am sorry to hear he's sick again. I hope he get through this without much difficultly. I think its good they put him back on the vent so he has more energy to fight off this bug. I am assuming that because he will be on medicine for so long and because he is sick that they will wait longer to do the surgerys they were planning on doing when hes 4.5lbs... I think it would be better for him to be a bit bigger anyways... but thats me and I'm no doctor by any means.
Please take care of yourselves through this stressful time.
Sending our love and Prayers-
Niki, Dave and Zack
