This morning the nurses said that he is still stable. Whjite blood cell count is staying stable. We hope that it will start to go down. He is more and more uncomfortable with the medication they are giving him to keep the fetal heart flow open, instead of closing as it normally does the first week of life.
Here is the posing at My Family Site about last night. Will it ever end? Also pray for Julie's milk supply which is frustrating so far:
Grandma & grandpa are OK, just tired. Julie and Ryan not so good. Last night Julie went straight to the ER at LDS hospital from the NICU. She has had a fever despite taking percoset and ibuprofin concurrently. Both of those wore off while at the ER and the back pain became more apparent. She had 2 kidney infections (a UTI that had progressed) They would have admitted her except for Michael. So instead they gave her an IV of antibiotics and she started to break out in hives, so they stopped that and treated the hives and changed to a different oral antibiotic. They got home at 1 am. They were exhausted, but unbelievably Julie was more upbeat since the double whammy of antibiotic already had her feeling better and the latest news from NICU was that the last x-ray showed stomach inflammation going down and his white blood cell count was no longer climbing.
Thank you so much for the prayers, we know that it is helping. We are all fasting today for Michael.
Additional Note: Ryan is also not feeling well. He has an irritable bowel that flares up under stress.
