Day 12

Overall today Hayden has had a pretty good day. He is still on antibiotics for his infection, but they do not know what is causing the infection yet. The blood tests have come back negative for the bad stuff (yay!!). Hopefully they will stop the antibiotics by tomorrow, we will see how he does. He is up to eating 8 mls. every three hours!! YAY!! And they have decreased his IV fluids because he is getting more nutrients from his feedings now. His breathing was better today but when I left the hospital tonight he had started having a little trouble. The nurses have told us that his lungs are immature still so that is why he has trouble with his breathing at some points. Please keep that in your prayers when you think of him because we do not want him to have to go back on the ventilator. He is so smart and he is such a loving and cuddly baby. He loves it when I go in and hold him and we just cannot wait to take him home. We praise God for all his little accomplishments and right now we are just concentrating on the day to day. We love you and thank you for all your prayers!
