Two Steps Forward One Step Back

Ever since the first day the ladies where admitted to the NICU, the doctors and nurses warned us that our stay would have a lot of "two steps forward and one step back". Well, I have to admit Jim and I got very comfortable with the ladies progress and let our guard down a little. Missy Maddy is battling a infection as of yesterday afternoon. She did show mild signs of something happening with her for the past two days, but they where really mild until yesterday. They assure us that any baby that spends more than 10 days at the NICU gets some type of infection - it just happens. So our little peanut now is on some antibiotics which seem to be doing the trick. She's getting some color back, and moving around more but she did get demoted to nursery B from E. We'll keep everyone posted as we know more.

Oh, poor Maddy - I'll be sending her lots of get well vibes. They are going to be two tough little girls (and you, two fearless parents) by the time they get home!
