More updates
Well good news and frustrating news. So far his second urine culture shows no growth after 24 hours. This is great, but they will not actually say it is negative until 48 hours. The antibiotics he is on seem to be working well. However, the MD who rounded on Nolan today called the Infectious Disease Center to run our situation by them. They strongly suggested because of how young he is that he be on IV antibiotics for 7 days and then oral antibiotics for 7 days just to be safest. This of course means we have to stay in the hospital until at least Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. Although this is tedious and frustrating, if it is the safest way to go we are ok with that. This is not final, we will talk with the MD more in depth tomorrow morning. However, a second issue that we are now facing is that of the financial cost of such a long hospitalization and so soon after I was in the hospital for several days with his birth. Health care these days is not cheap even with insurance. Please pray that God provides abundantly and that these hospital bills do not put an added burden on us. Thanks again for everything!We are blessed to have friends and family like you and we don't take that for granted.
