Hit a bit of a rough patch

Hello everyone. Morgan has hit a bit of a rough patch. It's nothing serious. Two weekends ago Morgan got a urinary track infection, he was put on antibiotics for that and has since gotten better. He then had his hernia surgery a week ago and is still on the ventilator. The surgery went well but for the first couple of days after his surgery he just wasn't himself. He put on so much water weight that he didn't even look like the same baby to me. His face was so puffy. For a couple of days they had him on so much pain medicine that he wasn't really moving, opening his eyes or breathing over the ventilator at all. They have since weaned him off of his pain medicine and he is starting to act like himself. They were supposed to take him off of the ventilator today but his belly was distended (meaning he needs to poop) so they didn't want to put him back on cpap and put extra air into his belly. During rounds this morning they said if his belly goes down they would try tomorrow to take him off of the ventilator but I just got a call this evening saying that Morgan's HERO score (which is a study to try to predict infection sooner) has gone up and they are going to stop his feeds again and start him on antibiotics again!! They said he hasn't been acting any differently but they just to be careful because his belly has been distended. So now that he is back on antibiotics I don't think they will take him off of the ventilator tomorrow. I am just bummed that we have to go through another round of antibiotics! I just have to be thankful that in the long run he really is doing well and that so many other things could have gone wrong...this just happens to be a small down hill on this crazy roller coaster!
