Luke’s little devotional book title for today is “Saying Thank You.” It is about one little boy giving another a birthday gift and the first said thank you. It goes on to say that God gives us presents everyday and how we need to remember to say thank you to God for everything He gives you everyday.

The verse is Ephesians 5:20 and this version reads, “Always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The prayer reads, “Thank you, God, for gifts You send. In Jesus name I pray. Amen”

Please thank God today for Little Sebastian, for His mercy and continuing protection of this Little One. Please thank God for his first week birthday, for the precious gift he is from our gracious heavenly Father.

Down to 55 % oxygen, 6 on dopamine, 5 on fentanyl. His blood count is low so they have him on blood products to raise. Otherwise sounds like a positive day thus far.

His gases have not been good. They raised breaths per minutes again to 45. If they do not improve in the next few hours, he’ll have to go back on the jet ventilator.

526AM today
Billirubin is back up so lights back on. They’ve taken down oxygen to 40%. Dopamine down to 4. last night. Oxygen level has dropped lower than they would like. Otherwise not a bad night.

Please continue to pray fro Sebastian’s heart and lungs and overall health to just be perfect. The Lord tells us to aim for perfection, so that is our prayer! Pray His angels of protection will guard Sebastian in all his ways.
