Happy weekend. I'm up with a napping Andrew. He is a happy baby today. Lots of smiles. This morning they started giving him milk through is g-tube. It's still a very little bit, but they are planning on increasing it little by little as he tolerates. The cultures they took yesterday did grow something, which means he has an infection, but the antibiotics they started him on (they always start one when they suspect an infection) has been effective & his white counts were already better. They suspect the infection is localized at the central line which is supposed to come out Monday morning when they put the broviac in. So we just hope the antibiotic does it's job in the meantime & we'll get rid of that old line Monday. Also, i don't think I mentioned yesterday that when they measured him to plot him on the growth chart for 2 months he weighed 4.3? kg (about 9.5 lbs) & was just over 22 in long. Grow, baby, grow!
In honor of his 2 mon birthday we brought in homemade peanut butter cups that his Aunt Katie made for us to share with the staff up here. The nurse practioner wanted to know how you get the peanut butter so perfect in the middle. I told her I don't know how you do what you do, but that those weren't even the best thing that you make. She said you should go into business. She's right. The world could use Comfort Foods. : )

Hello Page's, I really wish that I would have come up this evening after I saw Thomas's video of the sweet boy. Tears are falling over my grandpa and I just am exhauted over the worry and need to hold my girls. I feel that I do not need to tell you about worry, you have had your share. I will find time to come and see him, I know I need to take a night shift this week with grandpa, so I can not make a promise of the day. He has been in 23 days now. I can not imagine how you are both feeling with as long as you have been there. Anyway, I am rambling. Hope you liked your dinner and I will hope to see you soon. Love - Amy
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIZZY!
Praying for you! (and mom and dad too!)
Ahhh, Aunt Katie is magic! Now, if only I could figure out how to transport the magic of peanut butter in the middle of a cup into something a little more useful...
