Our worries from last night continued today as we learned that Annie is (probably) dealing with another infection. She had just gotten off of her antibotics yesterday from the last infection so to have her get so sick so quickly has been hard. Last night, she has having so many episodes that she was placed, for the first time, on CPAP. This is a device that is inserted into her nose and injects air into lungs. It doesn't breathe for her but it does give her a pretty serious kick in the right direction. This has been very hard for us since we have never seen her so sick and lethargic.
So we are waiting to her back if this is an infection and who it is. In the meantime, Annie will receive a blood transfusion today (Dada rocks!), be off food, on CPAP, and under strict orders to get better and stop scaring us.

sorry to hear about the infection. and to think that she almost escaped not having to use the CPAP! i guess it is a rite of passage in the NICU that even Annie couldn't charm her way out of! Nate and I will, of course, be thinking quick healing thoughts-
Just me checking in - and sending more positive thoughts from Michigan. The ones from here come singly and "bundled" from me, Trudi, Hiromi and Irene (my trainer at the gym who was also up at the cabin with us last week and therefore got/gets all caught up on Annie-news a few days a week). So, there you are - really sorry to hear about the set-back, but relieved that the NICU is so much like the Boy Scouts - prepared!
