Dear Berkley,
Today you are 28 days old!!! Whoooo hooo, another milestone! You are doing great and will come off small baby guidelines in the next day or two which means we get care time every 3 hours instead of 6. Your feedings are up to 20mL and you are at 2lbs 5oz. Your leg is still very swollen, but they are giving you some meds to help with fluid and keeping it elevated.
The hospital is starting to wear me down, but I'm not leaving your side. I tell you all throughout the day that I'm here and I hope you know it and can feel our love. I love you precious.
Day 28
Dear Berkley,
You came off small baby guidelines today! They are going to keep your care time every 6 hours since you seem a little more fussy about that leg and jusy really do not want anyone messing with you right now. They are doing another xray a little higher on your leg today as your swelling has moved into your bottom. Praying everyday for God to give them an answer to whats causing the swelling. We are getting more worried about it.
Day 29
Dear Berkley,
Dad and I went home yesterday to check on your fur-siblings and take care of a few things. While we were there, we got a call that a doctor was coming to drain some fluid from your leg that has been swelling. We headed back to Huntsville to be there with you. We know now the results from the fluid. It is an infection. It can be lots of different things so we are waiting on further results from thr lab with specifics. The doctors started you on 3 antibotics to cover a broad spectrum.
We are frustrated that this wasn't found sooner. We have lots of questions and are trying not to get ahead of ourselves. Praying for quick results from the lab, quick treatment, and guidance for the doctors.
I did get to kangaroo with you today. Always love this. It makes us all feel better.
Sleep sweet. Grow big. Be brave. I love you.
