Josh is still gaining fluid. They have stopped the lasix while he has the infection and this affects his breathing, so weaning him off the vent isn't going to happen any time soon. They did another transfusion today and found out that he also has a urinary tract infection so they have to add another antibiotic to the mix. He is still very lethargic and sick. Hopefully he starts to feel better soon. He fights the vent... I am sure it's very uncomfortable and makes him gag. This is the first time in a long time that we have had a setback and it sucks to see him so sick and not be able to hold him and comfort him. Right now, all he wants is to be left alone. With all of the weight gain, the poor boy has no neck... chin flows into chest! I just feel so bad... I want so much to be mommy right now, and I can't.

He'll be ok -just needs a few days of the antibiotics in his system. And even if you can't hold him, he knows when you are there. You can hold his little finger and talk to him. Babies know their Mamas. :)
Oh Diana, our hearts go out to you. NO one can possibly know the ache in your heart and the worried you feel. All I can say is we think of you every single day, and we pray every single day for Josh to get well and go home. God will not forsake you. Trust in him.
love always,
Dee & Jeff
