In the Middle of the Night

We started our mother's day with a phone call from the NICU at 5:40 am saying that Carson was throwing up and possibly sick. This was the first time that the hospital has ever called us in the middle of the night so you can imagine that we were quite alarmed. It turns out that Carson had a rough night last night. He only slept for two hours and threw up all night. The doctors had been doing blood tests often and said that everything had come back normal. They asked us for approval to do a septic workup (that included pulling some spinal fluid) to see if there was any sign of infection, but there was none, thankfully! So no one is really sure what was going on. Heather thinks that it is just because they have been feeding him more and that with his liver and intestines back inside, that everything inside of him is very tight. So he is being kept on antibiotics and they doctors will try to feed him again tomorrow. All is good though. We were able to hold him today and grab some shots for mother's day. Enjoy.
