Karter Update

Karter is now two whole days old! We are beyond grateful and blessed to have that baby boy! He is in NICU still...he went originally because they thought his breathing was not doing well, however his lungs are fully developed and he is doing great with that...his eating wasn't very good though at first, he wasn't sucking/swallowing/breathing all that the same time well so they put a feeding tube in him to make sure he he got enough nutrition. As of today he has been eating most his food with a bottle with no problems! However yesterday they started treating him for an infection that he got during birth...I tested positive for the strep test and although I got the antibiotics in time, it's not fool proof and therefore they think he got an infection...so then today they checked his white blood cells and they were still low so they will treat him with an antibiotic for 7-10 days, which means he will be in NICU until then:/ he also was jaundice today so they are treating him for that as well. Although I want more than anything for my baby to be home I am so thankful that everything going on with him is so easily treatable... I know he will be home soon. Also thankful for the time to recover from delivery and 12 weeks of bed rest, hopefully the extra time I have right now will make me a better momma for him...we appreciate all the prayers and are trying to stay positive through this, God has blessed us so much and has brought us so far.
