Little E's got a little infection in him, which is probably what made him all tired out yesterday when we were there. They did some more blood work, and started antibiotics last night, which should take care of things pretty quick.
The doctor (who called me at home at 9:30p - how often do you see that) wasn't overly concerned about it, but wanted to do more tests anyway - including blood, urine, and spinal fluid.
After the call, we were a little bummed out. We both hate for him to be pricked all the time, and I think we both wish we could do more for him.
Overall though, the doctor is very pleased with his progress. He's up to 10cc's every 3 hours of food, and seems to be much happier in his new enclosure. Mom and I visit every day, and each day we get to do more and more.
It's quite a change from early on, when we really couldn't do anything. Now, we're checking temperatures, changing diapers (do you know they weigh every one?), playing with him a little. It's almost starting to feel like we're parents. Then we go home and it doesn't. It's very strange.
I hope he kicks this infection soon and keeps growing. I want to take him home!
