We really need to get ourselves out of hospital. Noah has picked up yet another infection. On tuesday he started spiking fevers again. Another blood culture was drawn and he now has a different bacteria in his blood called pseudomonous. No one knows exactly how he picked up this one, but unfortunately the hospital just has too many bugs floating around. So he is on four different IV antibiotics now, but has still been spiking fevers. He will need at least 2 more weeks of IV antibiotics before he can come home. We may have to put in another central line because the antibiotics are so hard on his tiny veins and Noah keeps losing his IVs almost daily.
Feeding is going well though despite all the infections and Noah is still gaining! The GJ tube seems to be the answer we've been looking for and he's made it over the 10lb mark!!! So things are moving in the right direction.

I keep checking to see if you've gotten to go home yet- I'm praying to see the update soon that you are able to be out of the hospital! I pray that it works for this weekend for your Harder Christmas. It could get kinda crazy in your house with everyone there- enjoy it! (My whole family is gone this Christmas!)
love Ramona
