more prayers needed...Carson has pneumonia

Just wanted to add more specifics about Carson. We just spoke to his doctor and they have decided he has pneumonia. He has coag negative staph which is bascially staph we find on our skin and it has colonized his trach and lungs. He has a left shift on his blood count and haziness on his x-ray, so they are going to extend his antibiotics to at least 10 days. He has been on them for six days. Please be praying Carson can kick this infection and get on the path of weaning! On a funny note, as the neonatologist was talking to us about pneumonia, surgery came by and said, "He is doing great... no problems." It is comical how many people are working on his case and each perspective is very centered on certain things. Surgery is super excited his incisions are doing well but don't worry as much about pneumonia. It is interesting to watch them all work together! Be praying this infection will go away and our little guy can get on his way to going home!

Thank you and we are so blessed to have you in our lives!
