Bad Day

Carter's having a bad day. Last night they noticed that his temperature was very low, so they tried bundling him more, but that didn't seem to help him. Unfortunately typically an infant will get cold when they are trying to fight off infection rather than hot like older kids do. They ran some tests to see where his white blood cell counts were (these are the cells that are sent out to fight infection), and they did increase from last night to today. The doctors decided to just keep an eye on him since his other numbers on the labs were fine. Now, he's not digesting his food which is a very indicative sign that he's sick again. They are going to do another lumbar puncture (drain spinal fluid from his spine) to check for Meningitis again, and are starting him on yet another Antibiotic. Please pray for Carter. Our poor little guy really needs to catch a break.
