Infection

I got back from the hospital around 6:30pm today and got a call from one of the fellows in the NICU at about 6:45pm. Thomas' nurse noticed a red spot with a bit of swelling below his chin; it looks like a skin infection of some sort. They immediately started him on antibiotics and sent off samples to the lab to assess what the bacteria is and whether or not it has entered his bloodstream. We're praying that it's not MRSA and that it's not in his bloodstream. He seems to be behaving normally (for him) but has definitely required more oxygen these past few days. Hopefully, that's not a sign of anything worse. They're going to do an ultrasound tomorrow, and we should also get an initial read on the lab work. 

Otherwise, everyone seems to be doing well. Audrey gained 15 grams (about .5oz), so that's at least something. Charlotte is eligible to trial off CPAP again, so I bet that will happen in the next day or so. She and Thomas are both still rocking their cribs and are growing well.
