Been at the hospital all day, just home at 8:30. They took Jacob in about 9:30 this morning and brought him back around 3:00. they ended up having to put him on the ecmo machine, (heart lung by pass machine). Jacob was missing the whole left side of his diaphragm and everything was up in his chest cavity. his organs were blue meaning they were not getting enough oxygen. they had to create a piece for the part of the diaphragm that was missing. his lung on the left side is the size of a chicken nugget. He would not survive with out the ecmo machine. he has a 40 % chance now. just keep praying..
I'm sorry to keep asking for prayers.. but I have too. He needs them...
come on God.. please.
Prayers FLOWING!! Tears streaming too. Sending you lots of hugs.

Viv,
ReplyDeletePlease don't apologize for posting prayer requests on your blog. It's your blog and we look for these updates and want to do whatever we can to help. Jacob and his whole family will continue to be in my prayers. (((Hugs)))
Little Jacob is on my mind constantly and in my prayers. I am so sorry that you all have to go through this. So glad the surgery is over and he gets to rest. That machine makes it easier on his little body and does the work for him. God bless this sweet baby.
