Today Parker is doing a little better, he is not so touchy today. Over the past few days he had started to have some fluid retention, he looked very puffy from the excess fluid. Today that looked a lot better. We had another small problem to occur, yesterday he started to get some skin breakdown under his chin, we aren't really sure why but it is being treated. He has still been dropping his heart rate, but they started him back on some medicine that is like an iv form of caffeine, so maybe that will help that. Today when we would talk to him, he didn't cry, that's a good thing b/c that's what he has been doing. There is technically no sound coming out b/c he is still on the ventilator but he still cries, you can tell. His weight has increased, but we aren't sure if it's because he's really gained or because of the excess fluid. They have started him back on breast milk but only a very small amount right now. Just enough to get his gut working again. They finally figured out what the infection specifically was, it's called streptococcus bovis, this doesn't mean much since they are already treating him with the right antibiotic for this infection. They tried another spinal tap today and were successful, so we will wait and see if that culture shows anymore infection. Hopefully it wont. The Dr. talked about possibly trying to take him off the ventilator tomorrow, we will see. This week has been very emotionally draining, sorry I havn't written on here more, but we are just so exhausted. Parker also had another head ultrasound, and it showed no change, so that is a good thing, the small bleeds are still small and haven't gotten any bigger. He looks better to me, that's a relief, but I'm scared to say anything positive b/c everytime I do, something happens. Just everyone please keep on praying for our sweet baby, he still needs lots and lots of them, and so do we. Thanks everyone for all you have done, it is greatly appreciated. Have a good night.
