Jonah's new IV

Okay - so Jonah had a big day yesterday. They noticed his belly was a little distended early yesterday morning and it could be one (or more) of three things:
1) could be his CPAP getting air into his system
2) it could be an intolerance to the milk fortifier they started giving him. Isaac had a similar intolerance
3) a staph infection. When they removed his PICC line they did a culture and it it had some staph - so they took a blood culture to see if Jonah has an infection. we'll have to wait until tomorrow to get the results back from that.

In the meantime they gave him a new IV.... in the head... which sucks. But they are giving him some antibiotics and his nutrition through the IV. Cindy had a really hard time with it all yesterday - especially since we go in alternating shifts instead of together. When I went last night they took the IV out of his head and put it in his leg. so now it looks much better.

So a bit of a rough go of it yesterday - he's still about 2 lbs 13 ounces right now and that's about it.

Here are some shots of the little guy from yesterday
