Friday, 3/11

Happy Friday! First of all, I know some of you have had a hard time posting comments, I don't know what's going on. I did email blogger support and they are looking into it. Thank you all again for your wonderful comments. We love reading them so hopefully they'll get the problem fixed soon.

We got a very good report today. The doctor, who is unfortunatly going off service today, said he is very optimistic. First of all, the blood culture is negative so far which is great news. And, Dinky lost 200 grams last night which is wonderful! Because of this weight loss they will hold off on steroids for now which they were going to give him to treat the swelling. He is continuing to eat well and is up to 6.5 mL an hour on the continuous feed. Dinky is still having the desats and brady episodes but the doctor isn't overly concerned about them. We'll continue to see how he does from that standpoint. But overall a very good report!!

On a personal note, I wanted to let you all know that Dinky's great grandmother in Austria passed away peacefully in her sleep yesterday. "Omi" was 4 days shy of her 90th birthday. Martin's dad had flown over for her birthday so he was able to see her before she passed away. Please keep his family in your thoughts.
