Back on Track

Just a quick update since a lot of people have emailed me wanting to know how Bohdy is doing. The little guy is looking great and seems to be back to his happy, hungry self. He got his IV out today and has been bottle feeding most of his milk. Sometimes he is too sleepy so he gets fed through the tube in his nose, but for the most part he is excited for his bottle and chugs the full amount (he'll be at his max of 35 mL by tomorrow). His stool samples were sent to Children's Hospital in Denver to test for some different viruses, but we likely will never know what he had. All the samples will probably tell us is that he does not have a virus anymore and is therefore not contagious and can be out of "isolation" (meaning his nurses don't have to wear gloves and robes and keep all supplies outside his little area). He has been pretty anemic but the doctor told me today that his levels have stayed stable and his blood work is showing signs that his body is making new red blood cells on its own, so we should see improvement soon. That means he won't have to get a blood transfusion. Fingers crossed!! He's 3 pounds 15 ounces today ... hoping to hit 4 pounds soon!!
