I wrote this text yesterday afternoon: "Seth is in the pulmonologist's office sitting up, going crazy with the paper covering the table, flinging his arms and legs around, vocalizing and babbling and chortling continuously, and satting 100% with no oxygen! Last night after having been off oxygen for 14.5 hours he was still satting 95%."
We were given the go-ahead to discontinue his oxygen altogether, so we left it off last night. NO alarms all night long and he was still satting 95% this morning!! To top it off, he has been eating bite after bite of baby food and is tolerating the bottle (although still gumming it rather than sucking). He vomits only infrequently (1-2 times/day) and his growth chart goes up nearly at a 80-degree angle! We cannot thank and praise our Father enough for all of His kindness and great mercy in Seth's life and ours. We cannot thank you prayer warriors enough either! Oh, I forgot to update the answer to the prayer request that he would stop waking up and vomiting around 5 a.m.: that is no longer happening, praise God!
Please pray he continues to make progress and that The Lord will continue to be glorified in his little life.
Love,
Carrie
This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

Have been following your journey by prayer and give thanks to God for all he has done in your lives...what a testimony to his goodness you have...
ReplyDeleteAwesome! So many prayers for that sweet boy! Thanks for all the recent pics, too - love those joyful smiles.
ReplyDeleteYAY Seth!!!!! Praise God!!! I also want to say thanks for all the pictures. Love those beautiful smiles!!! When I think back to all those dark days you all had to do through with Seth and then look at him today, I laugh, cry, and thank God profusely. I can only imagine how you all feel. God Bless you all!!!
ReplyDeleteTruly wonderful news! Praise the Lord.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news. Just want to encourage you about Seth's vomiting. One of my babies vomited nearly every time he nursed. When I asked the nurse about this she told me that some babies do that until they can stand and then it stops. She said that their stomach muscles get stronger as they stand. And that is want happened to my baby. When he could stand his vomiting stopped. That may be the case with Seth.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's really good to know! It seems to kind of already be true. I don't think he vomited at all the past two days, and only once today. He is sitting up a lot now, so that strengthens his tummy. Thanks! Carrie
DeleteGood day, dear family! I know the quints since birth. Day by day I visit the blog, and pray always for everyone. It is a great joy for me to see God's blessing in the growth of all. A big hug from Argentina! Ceci
