And one step back...

Well, we got our first phone call from the nicu today. About a half hour before we were going to head in to see the boys, the head nurse called to tell us that they suspect that Riley has an infection. They did some bloodwork and are waiting to see if anything grows from a culture they took but in the meantime, they've started him on 2 antibiotics that cover the majority of the problems that preemies have.
When we got to the nicu, we were able to sit down and ask more questions. The good news is that his lung is looking better. He has gone back to no feedings until they figure out what is wrong with him. They're watching for a few different things and doing x-rays multiple times per day to check his lungs and his stomach. They don't have any reason to believe that it's anything like pneumonia and his afternoon x-rays all looked the same as the x-rays from this morning. We're nervous and scared and we hope that whatever it is was caught early enough that it doesn't result in a major problem.
Addison, on the other hand, is doing well. He is up to 14ml now and starting tomorrow, they'll add fortifier and potassium into the breastmilk. Hopefully he'll tolerate the extra stuff and continue to grow.
So, because of how fragile the boys are, we've stopped allowing extra visitors into the nicu. Ian and I will be the only people who actually go in and go up to their isolettes.
Please just keep Riley in your thoughts. We're really hoping this doesn't turn into anything major. No pictures today, the last thing we wanted to do was bother them.
