He is having a little bit of a rough day. His oxygen levels have kind of been up and down all day. He really needs to be relaxed because when he is uncomfortable and squirming around a lot, his oxygen levels start to fall.
The doctors decided this morning to do another ultrasound on his heart to see if there was anything in there going wrong which was causing the problems. We got the results back from the test a little bit ago and they didn't find any problems. This was of course good news, but at the same time it would be nice to be able to find the root of the problem with his oxygen levels. I think they are planning on doing a chest x-ray in a little bit to see if they can find any other issues there.
The neonatologist said today that he has done "remarkably well" under the circumstances so far. So that was nice to hear.
Please pray that Sam can start getting some better rest and hopefully his oxygen levels will begin to level out.
We are still amazed at the amount of prayers and support that everybody is giving him. We even have nurses in the NICU coming up to us and saying that they have heard about Sam from other people they know. Keep up the good work everybody, the prayers are working!

Praise report for the positive results on the heart. I am praying for some peaceful rest for little Sam and his mother and father. Isaiah 26:3 says, "I will give thee perfect peace whose mind is stayed of Me; for he trusts in Thee." Keep your focus on the ONE that loves Sam more than you do. He will give you the peace you need for each day. Praying!
