Jonah made some head way on his oxygen needs. The doctor threatened Jonah to give him another med, Flolan - which is similiar to the NO 'nitric oxide' which helps dilate the bronchiols so Jonah can oxygenate better, which would require a dedicated IV line that comes with another poke. Within hours Jonah had decreased his oxygen needs from 78% to 50%. Jonah can do it if he wants to!!! Go Jonah Go!!! I got a little anal today about Jonah's hair always being a mess, so I asked the nurse if we could have a tooth brush or something else to brush his hair. She brought back a surgical scrub brush, which Tanya promtly tore the sponge off and left the bristled end for me to use on his hair. His part is darling right!!! So we are learning to find joy and fun in most of our trials.
