Leo's Slowly on the Mend

Leo's cultures for common viruses came back today and they were all negative. His other labs were a little off though. They showed that he does have a small infection and that he has some difficulty with is respiration. Because of this, they did a chest X-ray this afternoon. It came back clear. So currently they are just saying it's a virus, but can tell that he is improving. They will continue to watch him closely and retest his labs in a few days to check for any changes. Hopefully good news!

Preemies are vey susceptible to the smallest infections and this is the reason there will be so many precautions during the months after Leo comes home. If we ever say don't come to visit or make sure you're 100% healthy before you do, don't be offended. It's so we can enjoy Leo for years to come. When you do come, we'll ask you to wash your hands, not bring any children, and probably not touch him for awhile. We can't wait to share him with everyone, but his health depends on these precautions. Thanks in advance.

Here's to hoping and praying for a speedy recovery!!
