Here we go again...

Jacob has been running a fever for a couple of days and his blood culture came back positive for a staph infection. His blood saturation started to drop and the doctors decided to sedate and intubate him again. One step forward, two back.
I don't want to sound pessimistic but this is starting to wear me down. I don't think I am getting depressed just yet, but I can see it happening. I want to remain positive and upbeat for any other hypoplastic parents that may read this but they will understand that this is one of the "downs" in the so-called ups and downs.
Right now we are playing the waiting game again waiting for Jake to fight the infection back. He is a human pin cushion right now and looks just beaten. Not literally of course, but you can tell he is having one hell of a bad time.
It is now unlikely that he will be home by September. Let's hope for Thanksgiving.  Easter to Thanksgiving is a very long time to be away from home.
