Day 10 - 1

We had yet another surprise this morning. The nurse came in to give Nicholas a new medication. I asked her what it was and she said it was an antibiotic because his blood culture came back positive. I really wish the doctors would come and tell us things like this. So I don't know if this means he has an actual infection in his blood or if they just found bacteria in it and it's not yet an infection. He has no other symptoms of having an infection. But still, this makes me a bit nervous.

Also she started him on Reglan. She said it was to prime his gut so that he would be able to have food again by mouth. For the past 3 days he's just been getting his nutrition through an IV. I don't know how long he needs to be on the Reglan before he can eat again. They still have not given him anything to eat.

Tonight I'm staying with Luke and Josh is staying at the hospital. Josh and I are going to start taking turns staying with Luke overnight. I don't like to be away from Nicholas but my big boy needs me too. Also I could really use to get a decent nights sleep.
