So . . . we're on day 3! We know that Anthony is getting better. He has/had a staff infection near/in his umbilical area. He is on antibiotics to take care of it. It is a non-resistant strain - which is a GOOD thing. It is NOT MRSA - which is a GREAT thing!!!
And we have 7 days left to go. The doctor wants us to stay the full 10 days so that Anthony can get the full amount of antibiotics through the IV. There just isn't a better way with him being so young. We're in good hands though.
I am probably going to go stir crazy before next Friday, but it will all be worth it to have Anthony home and healthy!!! I'll be able to go home tomorrow though (my parents are coming to help) and get some things for entertainment and fresh clothes!
There have been moments when the load has felt lighter - trying to play with Augie and keep him busy. Here are some of the highlight pictures of Augie that we've caught in between:
Augie learning to enjoy the children's floor -
and entertain himself when stuck in brother's room -
And Anthony - just hanging in there and getting a lot of one-on-one mommy time -
It is really a new adventure everyday when you have these wonderful gifts in your life! God bless all the little children!
Waiting for another update from you friend...we have been praying. We hope that your sweet boy is doing much better. Love to you guys.
