June 25th, 2006. Yesterday I spent 4 hours at the hospital with Beau. His infection was also found in his blood, not localized to his lungs. The lab was still running tests to identify the bacteria. He's responding will to the first dose of antibiotics. His oxygen is way up. He was at 80% when I got there, but down to 70% by the time I left. His night nurse said he was resting comfortably and his oxygen was more around 30%. That makes me feel so much better.

When I called this morning, his day nurse said his oxygen requirement is higher than last night, since he's more active during the day, but lower than yesterday's. He's still responding very well to the antibiotics. He's begun to spit up some of his milk though. She thinks he's just getting too much at once time since he's still making belly sounds. They're thinking of giving him less, but more often so he'll still have the same amount of milk in a 24 hour period. I'm hoping that works and he'll stop spitting up. If he doesn't stop spitting up they'll take him off feedings again then restart him slowly with the trophic feeds.

Please keep praying for him. A huge thank you to everyone out there who's prayed for him in the past and continue to pray for him now. Take care.
