Still here

It's 11:30am, and Henry and I are still at the hospital.  Brian has gone to retrieve Aubrey from Alice and Tony Sessi where she has spent the last two nights (THANK YOU!!!)  So, here is the latest...

Henry's spinal fluid and blood cultures showed no bacterial growth.  YEAH.  However, his urine culture showed some growth.  More than likely this is related to the enterovirus, but they have to make sure it's not a UTI.  UTIs can be dangerous for newborns since they are less likely to contain the infection within the urinary tract. The attending Dr. here is recommending a course of antibiotics that we can administer at home.  Additionally, she wants to have a renal ultrasound done here today.  So, we'll be lucky to get out of here by 6pm.  UGH.  Also, she wants to have another test done on Monday that involves injecting dye with a catheter to make sure he's anatomically OK.  Please excuse my lack of medical knowledge!  I'm just not sure that's really necessary since it really seems like the virus is causing all these issues.  Anyway, she is going to consult with our pediatrician, which makes me feel better.  So, as long as they can get this sonogram done, we should be home today.  Thanks again for you thoughts and prayers!
