Everyone was shocked including the doctor who felt everything was going fine. Connor now has to stay in NICU for at least another week with stronger antibiotics. Had he not been in the NICU under such close observation the results of this could have been devistating. So please strengthen those prayers and good thoughts. Thank you to everyone who has posted here.

When they went to suction out the junk, they ended up pushing the bacteria into his lungs which immediately turned to pnumonia (sp) and they bruised his vocal cords so he could not cry and it was very hard for him to nurse so we had to supplement with formula for several days. He also had been under stress so all the blood vessels in his eyes were broken and he couldn't barely open his eyes. After spending time in the NICU, he came home just fine and is now growing like a weed!
