9/11, 4:52p.m. update

The results for Jack's echocardiogram came in, and to much happiness, his pda has repaired itself, with the help of the medication that he was given over the weekend. Apparently they attempted to wean him off all extra air today, but that didn't work, so they put him back on the nasal cannula, the little nose prongs. Apparently he's working pretty hard, but so long as his blood/gas tests come back good they'll keep him on the prongs and not put him back on the ventilator. We're really hoping that he doesn't go back on the ventilator, we don't want that step back, but if it's in his best interest then of course we'll take it.

As of 4:30, however, his gas saturations were good, and although he was breathing hard, he's absorbing all the O2 that he should be. There will probably be another update after we visit tonight and get to see the little niblet.
