Our baby is 2 months old today, Happy Birthday buddy! It seems like time has just flown by. Little buddy has been thru a lot these past two days but he is doing great. Yesterday his infection number CRP went up from 3.5 to 5 and it should be .5. So the doctors were a little concerned. They ended up putting a new perk line in his other leg because the leg where the other one came out from is pretty puffy and red but the swelling is going down. So they have been feeding him but he has had a few small residuals left in his tummy after each feeding. So they decided to do some further testing to make sure that his tummy is okay rather than waiting for something to happen if it is not okay. Plus his infection numbers went up a little rather than down yesterday so they were a little concerned. Last night they did a CT on him and he handled it well. The results are not back yet this afternoon. So today they wanted to do an upper GI well they packed him up and transported him to the area where they do that at and did a tummy x-ray. The x-ray showed he still had some contrast in him from the CT last night so they couldn't do the GI. So the had to pack him up and move him back to his room. They fed him hoping it will pass the rest of the contrast thru. Tomorrow morning they will do another tummy x-ray to make sure the contrast is gone and then do the GI tomorrow.
This morning his CRP is back to going down which is good. Today it is 3.7 but still showing there is infection in there. The results from the spinal tap they did the other day were negative which is great! He is still around the 4 pound range for weight, they have been giving him the lacix to have him pee off the fluid and he sure is! During the spinal tap he pee'd all over his bed, daddy was proud of his boy for that!! So we are waiting for these tests to get over with and tell us something if there is something to tell they can fix it and he can be on his way to growing and eating and coming home! The doctor made the comment Christmas is coming but we aren't pushing for that because we want him to be completely better so we don't have to go back there again, we want to keep him home once we get there! So keep fighting little man and we are praying like crazy for you~
