Well our poor little boy keeps having small roadblocks get in the way, but he is stepping right over them. Today the pedatric surgeons looked at his tummy again and found out he has a hernia. This seems to be common for preemie baby boys they are telling us. They will do surgery but not until he gets bigger. The hernia is a result of his previous tummy issues and his bowel poking thru. Other than that he is requiring only 25 % oxygen, which is great news!!! They are trying to figure out what type of infectgion is going on so they are doing a couple studies to see plus waiting to see if the blood culture grows anything. Depending on how his tummy continues to look and if they determine what type of infection he has going on they may start his feedings again this weekend. The medications are definetly helping him to feel a little better, although the tummy is understandably still very sore, he is doing great from a respitory standpoint. Last night Dylan was really awake when we were there and studying his daddy. He wouldn't let his daddy leave his bedside, it was cute. Dylan was squeezing his mommys finger tightly and staring into his daddys eyes. He is fighting away and last night the head doctor even told us what a fighter we have! That is very assuring when a doctor says that, Dylan has a little reputation already! Mommy and Daddy just knew this from the beginning, we are praying for you little buddy!!
