48 hours turns into 14 days..

Yesterday we found out that one of the blood tests revealed that there was a bacteria in our baby's blood. Luckily a bacteria can be easily fought with antibiotics and they're doing just that. It may be a few more days until they know exactly what it is, but they know that it is a bacteria. They're saying now that they may need to keep her for 14 days, maybe 7 depending on further test results and treatment. I feel bad that she has something, but relieved that something was found and we won't be wondering forever what caused the problems she had. She's doing just fine, although the IV they have in her is not comfortable for her at all. The alternative is a shot every four hours, so it may be better for her this way. I feel bad that I haven't been communicating with Chris and Sandy enough, but I guess they just don't know to look here. Sandy is really good with babies from working with them and is anxious to hold ours. The way I look at it, she'll have plenty of time to do that. We just need to get her all better. I got a call from a job I applied for yesterday and I have an interview for the job on Monday. They're opening a new store in Chicopee and I'd be working with customers again. Wish me luck! Until next time.. --------
