Probably because all of his fighting is catching up with him, Wyatt was more than a little tired today. He was very lethargic and basically, a wet noodle. The nurse who came on at 8 am seemed very concerned. So he had his 3rd chest x-ray (everything okay there), another CBC done (again, everything good). Antibiotics were again administered after another blood draw for a 48 hour blood culture and some other tests were done to determine if there was anything out of the ordinary going on. So far, everything that has come back has been normal. Even his bilirubin numbers (for jaundice) are within normal. So maybe he's just really really tired. A far cry away from two days ago when he was given sedation three times to calm him down.At his 2 pm "do up", he had a very large poop (only newborn poops are cause for celebration like no other!). When the nurse gavaged him, he stuck his tonuge out, so she dipped a q-tip in the milk and gave him a taste. Wyatt seemed to enjoy the taste and sucked on the q-tip and raised his eyebrows and almost opened up his eyes. It was very encouraging. Mike is visiting him this evening and I am off to bed!

Like I said, document these things .. you'll probably want to look back in years to come and remember these times.
