Sorry to everyone for not updating sooner. I didn't realize how fast time was going by with out an update. Abby's had an ok week. The Dr's told us there would be lots good days and plenty of bad days too, so be prepared for the ups and downs. Well she was right! On Thursday into Friday, Abby's nurses felt she was acting too tired and not responsive enough when they were in there messing with her. They think she has some sort of infection, so they started doing lots of tests. Unfortunately, they thought there was a chance she could have meningitis, so they had to give her a spinal tap-thankfully we weren't there to witness that! They sent off all her labs and immediately started her on antibiotics hoping to stop the infection before it could really get started. As of Friday am, Abby was already acting better. The Dr thinks she was much more active and awake before the antibiotic even had a chance to kick in, which is definitely a good thing. Abby's Dr also thinks that Abby isn't acting like a baby with meningitis. At this point, her Dr thinks its just an infection, it could be anything from a bladder infection to a cold. She's been getting better, she's still eating a ton-which is a really good sign-and she's been awake and active. So for now we just have to be patient and wait for the labs to come back. They meningitis takes at least 48 hours because they have to grow the culture, so we should know by tomorrow. Until then, they just keep her on her antibiotics and monitor her and hope she gets better. We went for a visit on Friday night, and we got to hold her-which we don't get to do enough-so it was good for us and I'm sure good for Abby. They also weighed her and she's 3.3 lbs, she's really packing em on!


That's a good looking proud papa!

Abby was a little upset getting weighed, but we like to see her like that too! She was flailing all over the place....

And no-she does not have the Lamb nose-the prongs for the CPAP stretch her nostrils-but we're assured it's only temporary! The Lamb(my mom's maiden name) nose is a lovely trait passed down through our family-it's basically big nostrils that get bigger as we age. When someone has a baby in our family, after the sex, weight and name are announced, the next question is...Does she have the Lamb nose!?So No she doesn't! but she'd be cute anyway!
