Poor Colton

Today hasn't been a good day for poor little Colton. I (mommy) arrived at the hospital this morning to find a lot of activity going on around Colton's isolette. He was having very low blood pressures and had a fever. The obvious suspect was infection. After some initial blood cultures that was confirmed. His feeds were immediately stopped and antibiotics ordered. They put him back on Dopamine to try and get his blood pressure up. The worst is that his blood gasses also went through the roof and he had to go back onto the oscillating vent. We feel so bad for him because it was obvious that he didn't feel well at all. He was so lethargic today. Hopefully he'll rally quickly with the antibiotics on board. We are worried about how much weight he'll lose coming up since he's not able to eat but we are crossing our fingers that it won't be more than a week or so. Poor Colton.
