AND Miller is wearing baby clothes for the first time!
The boys have had a fairly good couple of days. Miller is still trying to take a bottle at every feeding. Sometimes he does really well and sometimes he gets too tired and just falls asleep. The nurses say this is normal, that learning to use a bottle is hard work for a preemie.
Lucas' blood culture showed that the staph infection that he has is MRSA. This made me worried because I know about MRSA and it can be very serious. The nurse said that he is responding to antibiotics though. He will have a spinal tap soon to rule out meningitis, although they don't think it is meningitis. This is just precautionary. Our nurse Becky said a spinal tap for babies is no more stressful to them than a heel prick. As long as the spinal tap comes back clear of meningitis, Lucas will have surgery on Wednesday to fix the TE fistula.
