Elijah currently is still in the NICU due to an increase in his c reactive protein going from 2.4 to 4.8 this AM. Still well within normal range the new ped didn't want to take any chances and left him in there today to be observed. He should come out Sunday AM. He continues to do excellent. Feeding every 3 hours with now only 30 min feeds because my milk is coming in. He is doing great. Bilirubin level is low and his wbc count and other counts for infection are low. What that means is that it is unlikely Elijah will have to stay and be put on IV antibiotics...one of our fears.
His blood culture should be back tomorrow. Please pray he does well tomorrow. His circumcision is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and I am soooo nervous. He has been though alot.
WIll update tomorrow.
