Update 25 FEB 09

I want to start of by thanking everyone that has been posting comments, they have been very encouraging. Well Misty is feeling better today. We really haven't been testing her stomach out with anything beyond toast. She said today that getting sick may have been a blessing due to it forcing her to catch up on her rest. Dawn, my sister, flew in yesterday to visit for a few days. She has been a big encouragement as she is able to give us more insight into how the things Edward is dealing with is very much the normal roller coaster that preemies have to deal with. Dawn is a picu nurse in Chicago and often has to cover shifts in a nicu. We are also expecting Loyal (family friend that lives in CO) to be back out for a few days while he is off work.

Well Edward is still still being watched very closely, we are still awaiting the results of the cultures that they ordered yesterday. With out the results we won't know if he does in fact have a infection or phenomena but in the mean time they are still making sure that he is on antibiotics. to add item to this list of prayer requests, Edward isn't peeing as much as they would like. this adds just another thing they have to watch closely. They are having to keep checking the level of antibiotics in his blood and correct the amount they are giving him in accordance with the amount he already has in his blood stream. its a thin line between protecting from infection and damaging his little kidneys. On the good side of news he has made it to 600 grams sorry about 1.3 lb. I did get some pictures for you all today, Here is our tired little guy.
