Late night party in the NICU

So last night we received a call from one of the neonatologists (who incidentially was there when Annie was born!) that Annie was showing possible signs of infection. We allowed some time to pass, took another xray and decided against a sepsis work-up (yeah! no spinal tap!). Unfortunately, Annie was off foods until early this afternoon -part of the signs of infection lock-down protocal that we have become so familiar with- so she was not to happy when Elly saw her this morning. We think the culprit was a feeding that was a little too much for her and caused some vomiting -not any nasty infection bugs! Thanks to the night crew who was so attentive to these changes in Annie while not rushing any unnecessary tests we are looking good today and back on food.
