I really thought I posted yesterday. However, I guess not... anywho, I was extactic yesterday when I left the hospital. I was able to spend about 2 hours with him which was so nice! He looked really good and nursed his whole feeding and then some. The nurse and I were so proud of him. I think I even saw a double chin???
Today I called for an updated and he had been having more of the brady cardias again. They also noticed that he had some colored drainage coming out of his nose. They did a CBC and found that he has a virus. They are not giving him any medications for it but they have moved him back from the immediate care unit to the intensive care unit and have isolated him in his own room. They thought he might have a certain kind of virus and that test came back negative which was a huge blessing. He looked really good though when David and I both visited, at two different times. When I arrived after work he was wide awake looking around and very content. I was sad that they had just finished feeding him. However, he did take his entire feeding from the bottle rather than through the tube in his nose. I wasn't able to nurse either since he had just been fed. Someone told me that I should have them give him today's pumped milk since it would most likely have the ability to help him fight off the virus since I have been around him yesterday. Does anyone know if there is some truth to that? I know breast milk is a great help to their immune system but hadn't heard that specific detail.
Please pray for his quick healing from this virus and that they will not have to give him another blood transfusion as his white blood cell count is down. The good thing is that the doctor that was on today was the one that goes to our church. I know she hears from God and can help out anyway that she can.
Thank you everyone!
