So we're on day 11 (I think. I've lost count.) here in the hospital and Luke is doing well. He has strep b meningitis, which isn't contagious to adults, but still is a big deal to a 2 week old baby. The doc calculated that we can go home Sunday afternoon, so my first Mother's Day won't have to be totally spent in this place.
The nurses are lovely here, the doctors are great, and the techs are very helpful. It has been an emotional roller coaster and they've all been very supportive. Luke's fever wouldn't go down, so Wednesday of last week the docs decided he needed an MRI. If they found an abcess, baby would need surgery. Thank goodness his MRI came back clean and his fever broke soon after. He's been continually improving since.
Mommy is exhausted as is Daddy. I've been with Luke every night save for one (Nana stayed with the munchkin) and my hubby's been staying at home and going to work during the day. I'm just glad our little trooper is doing so well.
