The wait continues...

Here is the update from the Millers. It's just such a waiting game isn't it? Just not a FUN game of any sort!


The specialist has decided that Seth's problem is due to a volume of milk problem rather than this bacterial problem. So Dr. Brady (the specialist) said they would increase Seth's probiotics and take him completely off of antibiotics. Only problem is she never told the doctor about increasing the probiotics, so Seth doesn't have an order for that.
As for the volume problem, she said that he would eat from a bottle during the day, and get a continuous drip from a feeding tube during the night. She said that if that works, then once he's off of IV fluids he could go home like that--I would just have to learn how to put the feeding tube in, and I'd have to bring home a machine that can do the continuous drip.
Andrew and I don't think it's a volume problem--we think it's a bacterial problem. So now that Seth is off of antibiotics, we are waiting for everything to fall apart again. I suppose we'll know in the next day or two.
Seth is growing well, though. At 11 weeks old, and almost 2 weeks adjusted age, he is 7 pounds, 14 ounces.
