Square One

Well, we're back to square one on a few things with Carter. Last night he was having a lot of trouble breathing. They think that it's because of his infection, so they decided to help him out by putting him back on the ventilator. We're glad that he's getting the help he needs, but a little sad to see him take some steps back. Hopefully now he can concentrate on getting better. They are also suspending his feedings again until he starts to feel a little better. His cultures came back and show that he has a Urinary Tract Infection, and an infection in his blood. His platelet count is a little lower than they would like, so it's possible that he will have a blood transfusion tonight. He's really a sick kid right now, so please pray that he can overcome this quickly.
