Brett was admitted to the NICU with a stomach infection. He had to receive at least 5 days of anti-biotic. The first 24 hours were spent waiting on the results from a blood culture taken. We had to wait and see if it turned up positive, if it did things would be very serious and different measures would have to be taken. Luckily it was negative and we just had to wait for Danger's stomach to start feeling better. The first few days his stomach was so inflamed that he wasn't allowed to eat anything. All of his nutrients came from his IV. So by the third day he was extremely hungry and not very happy. Every day his stomach got better and his infection level went down.
We spent that whole week at the hospital. It was like life was at a stand-still. It was so hard to leave the hospital every night without my danger baby. We spent so much time at the hospital. Literally we were there all day. We left to eat and sleep. It was hard but we had some precious moments just holding Brett and having him all to ourselves.
Finally on Thursday June 23, 2011 we got to take our Danger Baby home. It was such a great day. We were all so happy and so ready to have him home.
