Sunday, 3/20

Oh, Dinky. Now our poor little baby has a pseudomonas bacteria infection!! This is something that is fairly common in babies who are on the ventilator. It's hard to say how exactly it has affected him because his struggles the past few days could be due to this or the RSV or, most likely, both. To treat this he will be started on an antibiotic. Martin and I were saying today that Dinky must have read our "Preemies" book and just wanted to be sure he covered everything in there.

In general, he seemed comfortable for the most part. He spent a lot of time on his belly which is his new favorite thing. We are now in an isolation room because of the RSV so Dinky moved again. It's a bit of an inconvenience because we have to wear a mask and own whenever we're in his room so it's a little uncomfortable. I'll be glad when we get in our old room again...

I remember once, years ago, hearing Dave sing "His Eye Is on the Sparrow." The words from that uplifting song play like a refrain now in my head, and I know it's true. love...
