Brock didn't have the best of days. He has got a distended abdomen, which means he has alot of air and gas built up in his tummy. At this point they have ruled out an infection, but just to be safe they started him on antibiotics. They have an IV in his arm and his head, which he is receiving fluids in, because he is not getting his feeds at this point. He also has an Anderson Tube that goes through his mouth down into his tummy. This suctions air out of his tummy. They will take another xray tonight to make sure nothing has changed. Once the xray comes back normal, he can start on his feeds again. The poor little guy had a restless afternoon. I am pretty sure it was from being hungry. He hasn't had anything to eat since Tuesday morning. One good thing for him was that he was on room air only for most of the morning. The nurse had to turn his oxygen back on this afternoon though. That is improvement. We will take anything we can get. Aiden and Collin had good days today. I got to hold each of them for about an hour each. They were so comfy and cozy in my arms. I love to hold them and can't wait until it can be more than once a day for longer than an hour.
