So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Thank you all for the text, calls and emails to Emily and Jason. Jake still needs your prayers. He is still very sick and in the Level IV NICU. His Group B Strep is late onset meaning he didn't get it from Emily or at birth -- they do not know how he got this bacteria. He is still on the ventilator and sleeping most of the time. They are still waiting on the spinal tap results to rule out meningitis -- which usually goes hand-in-hand with late onset Group B Strep. Jake will continue on IV antibiotics for 10-14 days.
Luke is growing and improving on his bottle feeds -- he weighs 6 pounds! He had cultures taken last night to make sure he doesn't have the same infection. So far his cultures haven't grown anything but they will not send him home until they come back clean. Emily and Jason think this will likely be on Monday.
