Well baby E didn't quite get to come home yet. I came home yesterday and we had high hopes that E would come home today, but his test results today didn't come back very good. His white blood count was up again and some other number (sorry I can't even tell what that number is) is also back up higher than it should be. So what does all this mean??? Well I actually got to visit with the Dr. for quite a while today and basically it seems based on blood tests that E is fighting some sort of bacterial infection....there really isn't a way to define it or put an exact name to it. So instead of the 3 day anitbiotics course he was on...he is now on a 7 day dose of anitbiotics. So the 7 days should now be done on Friday and if he continues to improve he would possibly get to come home on Saturday. The Dr. did say that he may be being just overly cautious but he doesn't want to send him home and than see him re-admitted which we agreed as much as we don't like him being there we don't want to have to re-admitt him after he gets home.
So I've been trying to get up there as much as possible to try and feed him and E has been trying to get up there also during his lunch break and after work. Thankfully Grandparents are allowed in there so tonight my Mom headed up there to feed him and hold him for a bit so that we can rest here at home.
Sorry - we don't really have any new pictures of baby E....so you can suffer looking at us!

Hey guys,
We are continuing to pray for Baby E. T and I pray for him each night before our bedtime prayers. It sounds like he is in good hands and is being well cared for. We will pray that he is well enough to come home soon!
M, S and T
We continue to pray for him and you guys as well. Looking forward to new pictures when you can post them...
