Infection update: Not in the spinal fluid (thank God, but I think the spinal tap made E very pissed off yesterday morning), antibiotics have been started and feedings have resumed. Another major crisis averted, hopefully the antibiotics will take care of things. He was certainly much happier last night when we were with him, and acting much more like himself. For example, nurse Sherri kept trying to position him on his side, and as soon as she would turn her back he would wiggle himself on to his back again. That's our boy. And he was very happy to be held by Dad for the first time in three days. We left him sleeping peacefully, much more comfortable than the previous day.
Today I'm heading down in the mid-afternoon, courtesy of Jackie. She and Granny Mary Jane have been my primary transport so far, and I really appreciate it. It makes me crazy not to be able to drive, but I'm thankful that I have friends and family so willing to help out. It makes things easier on us, and it helps me so much to be able to spend time with little E every day. I'm one happy mom.
