Set Back

This morning we got the phone call the we were dreading. The nurse told us that Sawyer has an infection. It pretty much has messed up his whole system. They do not know where it came from or how long he has had it. It could be something that survived the first round of antibiotics and now has grown. Anyway, he is on stronger antibiotics and way more support than he has had in the past. We are just hoping that the little man can pull through this.

The cardiologist talked with us about Zoe's tachycardia. I am even more confused after speaking with him. They are going to do more tests. Other than that, she is doing well. Her feeds are being increased regularly, and she is gaining weight. She is still on the CPAP and seems to be tolerating it. She does have fits when they take her off the machine and let her breathe as you and I do on room air without assistance. But this is to be expected.

The emotional roller coaster is intense. So many up and downs. It is quite the ride.

Thank you all for your support.
