Austin
So we moved to The Children's Hospital today around noon. Austin was getting sicker this morning so we decided that we would feel more comfortable in a hospital the specializes in pediatrics. Plus, Andy's sister Kelly works here so that is a huge bonus. He has RSV and h.influenzae pnuemonia and the combination is doing a number on his lungs. I just spoke with his doctors and he is definitely improving his oxygen requirements on the ventilator are going down which is a good sign. His blood pressure is staying a little low so he is on a medicine called dopamine to keep it up. He will get some blood tonight and hopefully that will allow them to wean off the dopamine. So please pray that his respiratory status will continue to improve and that his blood pressure will return to normal. I will try to update once day and more often if anything significant changes. Thanks again for all the support we can definitely feel the love and your prayers.

Thinking of you!
Love,

Love you Leah! Praying for all of you!
Leah, please know that I have emailed a request tonight to add Austin to our church prayer list and also to many other friends to add him to their church prayer lists. I also posted it on Facebook requesting that Austin be kept in everyone's prayers. Just know that many, many of God's people will soon be praying for Austin.
Love and Prayers,
Deborah Jones
