Another update from Anthony's Care Pages.....in case you are new to my blog, Anthony is the son of some dear family friends. He was born very prematurely (24 weeks gestation) on September 24th.

JUST A QUICK UPDATE: ANTHONY IS BEING TREATED FOR THE BACTERIA THEY DETECTED IN HIS LUNGS. I CALLED EARLY THIS MORNING AND THE NURSE SAID HIS BLOOD GAS (OXYGEN AND CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS IN THE BLOOD) IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT WAS YESTERDAY SO THEY WILL HAVE TO GO UP ON THE SETTINGS. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE DEVELOPEMENT OF HIS LUNGS AND THAT THE SETTINGS ON THE VENTILATOR CONTINUE TO GO DOWN SO THAT HE CAN COME OFF THE VENTILATOR.

ANTHONY IS NOT SWOLLEN ANYMORE, THE EDEMA HAS DISAPPEARED! HE HAS GAINED SOME WEIGHT, HE IS NOW 2LB6OZ. PRAISE GOD! HE IS NOW AT 16CC'S OF BREASTMILK.

HIS ARM CONTINUES TO IMPROVE!

THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS AND LET'S CONTINUE TO PRAISE GOD FOR THE WORK HE IS DOING IN ANTHONY AND OUR LIVES!
