The reason Benn was increasing in bradys and not decreasing is that he has a UTI. The night pediatrician figured it out. After being tested for everything under the sun, they figured it out. Sadly, treating it means more tubes and wires. He has a heplock in his tiny hand, taped on a splint that takes up most of his forearm. Through the IV they gave him a tiny blood transfusion and will give him antibiotics. The docs also have him on some oxygen flow in his nose.
When I went to see him today he already looked better. He was more alert, his feeding more vigorous and he just looked better. Plus he's up to 5lbs 4oz. Best of all, no bradys since yesterday. YAY. I shouldn't even think this stuff, but maybe..... maybe? Maybe Sunday or Monday. (pleasegodpleasegodpleasegod)
