Fighting off another infection
Sorry about no update in a while. I have been pretty busy this past week. Jolianne started having apnea's and high heart rate on Sunday evening. On Monday they took some blood cultures to check for infection. They did find that she has a bacterial infection present in her blood. Unfortunately this is something that comes with the territory when you have IV's and PICC lines all the time. They are not sure what she is fighting just yet but they do have her on antibiotics for two weeks. She is still on continuous feeds at 14 cc's an hour. They will do another Lumbar Puncture soon to see if the bacterial infection is present in her spinal fluid. If she does then they will extend her antibiotics to three weeks. I do have some really cute pictures of her at Halloween to post soon. Please keep Jo Jo in your prayers.

We love you JoJo. We are praying that God will take care of these infections. I enjoyed my time with you on Sunday and am thankful for the chance to hold you before this new challenge started. You have the best Mommy and Daddy ever. When I called yesterday morning, you're Mommy was reading you stories from your Fairytale book and yesterday evening your Daddy gave me an update from when he visited in the evening. I don't think they miss any days! Thanks for the pics in the costume. Such a cute baby pumpkin. Bet you were the most popular girl in Nicu!
Love ya,
Nana and Papa
