Pending Negative

All of the cultures for are "pending negative" for MRSA at this stage. In other words, they haven't grown anything in 2-3 days, so it's unlikely that they will, but they let it run for 5 days before declaring an official negative. Praise the Lord. The only positive found thus far was a small number of enterococcus species from Charlotte's groin area that should be wiped out by the antibiotics. None of the blood cultures show anything. Yay!

Otherwise, things are somewhat status quo for all three of them. Thomas is up to 2cc, Charlotte to 6.5cc and Audrey to 7cc of milk every 3 hours. Assuming they all continue to tolerate well, their feeds will increase by .5cc every 9-12 hours. Thomas is still rocking his status as the first one to hit a kilo in weight. Charlotte is over her birth weight at 1lb 9.5oz. And Audrey is up to 1lb 14oz. Braddies and desats for all of them have been about the same as before. 

We're still praying for those final culture results to come back negative and for all of the PDAs to be closing on their own.
