Brennen has had a little set back. He has a pocket of air in his bowel. It leaves room for infection to grow and cause some problems. The good thing is that the docs found it before the infection was able to grow. Thank God! The set back is that they had to stop his feeds and put him on antibiotics as a precaution. After that they will start his feeds slowly. Another cause could be a milk allergy. In that case if they start feeding him again and he gets the air pocket again. The docs will go from there. In the meantime He is just sleeping and growing and getting stronger. 5 more days of meds and then we start the feeding process again. Poor little guy had to get poked again for an IV but hopefully it wont be for to long. He is doing a really good job starting to suck. He LOVES is "B" If he can practice while he gets better then the learning to feed
process should go much smoother once we can start to bottle feed. The nurse even mentioned that after he get better from this he sould be able to be moved into a crib rather than the isolete. One day at a time. Everyday we are closer to taking him home. "Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10
