Tuesday AM - It is with a huge sigh (not of relief) I begin today's post. Adam developed an infection yesterday morning, so all bets are off for now as to when he will come home. This is obviously not a good development, and we are waiting to see what happens next. This morning was really rough as he was not able to hold down his formula. As I'm posting he's getting a reduced amount of formula to see if he will be able to keep it down. They've started him on three different antibiotics to treat the infection. Until today, he really never seemed to feel sick. His temperature, then blood culture, was the only indication that something wasn't right. But this morning it was easy to see he wasn't feeling well. He's been sleeping for about 2 1/2 hours, which I think is good because he needs the rest.

Now we are waiting for the next blood culture, which should be in by 4:00 this afternoon. The doctors have to decide whether to remove his central IV line because it may be the source of the infection, or to leave it in because of the uncertainty of his heart rhythm that may require IV medication. They'll decide based on the 4:00 report. So for now we don't know what's in store for the short term. It's another fight for Adam to take on. We'll know more in about 24 - 48 hours.

On the good news side, he weighed 8lb 10oz yesterday and will hopefully keep up the trend. I just spoke with Heidi who has Grant at the doctor's office for his immunization. He weighs 17.8 lbs. and has been cleared to start solid foods.

Our wild ride continues, with bumps in the road included. We're anxious to get to the end, with Adam and Grant at home making us crazy...
