Landon has had good days these past couple of days. O2 sats had been good and had been weaning him down on his ventilator settings. Mommy finally got to hold him yesterday at 17 days old for 3 hours! Was definitely the best 3 hours, just wasn't long enough! Well, last night he started running a fever. Wasn't too terribly high but then started getting higher today. They did some cultures last night to see if it was an infection, those didn't show anything so they thought it may have been some withdrawls from weaning him off the morphine. So today she gave him back a little bit of the morphine and started some antibiotics just to be on the safe side. They re-did the cultures today and it did come back positive for a yeast infection. Therefore this delays surgery and now it could be up to 3 weeks before we get repaired now! :( Prayers are definitely appreciated! I'll update again soon!
God Bless,

Amanda the waiting for surgery can be so frustrating. We had to wait 14 days before Ava had hers. I'm sure he will get over this yeast infection fast and they can operate. It is the worrying and waiting that is difficult. I'm thinking very positive for you all. Praying and praying for your little guy. Make sure to take care of you. SO happy you got to hold him finally. What a great thing. (I had to wait until after Ava's surgery to hold her. It was on day 19th of life.) What a feeling huh?
