Looks like it will be another day on the ventilator for Jacob. Dr. Roan thought he would be ready to come off today if his morning blood gas was good. Well, not terrible, but not at the level Dr. Roan would like it. We will see how it looks tomorrow morning. His platelets are coming back up! Today they are at 69,000. Dr. Roan thinks they will continue to climb now since they have targeted the infection. Jacob gained 15 grams last night, which puts him just under 2lbs 12oz. He's getting fat!!
