Two steps back...

McKay has had a rough couple days. On Thursday he started acting strange (moaning/whimpering, pale, lethargic) and he had air in his catheter which was concerning. Labs, x-ray, ultrasound, and a dye test were done and they found air in his bladder. The Dr's explained that one of the only explanations for air in the bladder would be a bacteria (like E. Coli) so it was assumed he had a bladder infection. He was put on strong antibiotics, put back on oxygen, got an IV for the antibiotics and fluid, and stopped his feeds.  Yesterday he was alert enough to want to try eating so they let him have a little food. Today he is feeling better (still a little more sleepy than usual) and he is back on full feeds! Primary's is still not ready for him so we are going to try to get him better from this infection and keep increasing his feeds.

Kooper keeps working on increasing his oral feeds. He was off oxygen for 48 hours then he started de-stating after his feeds so every so often he needs a little oxygen to keep him going.

*I'll try to post more pictures soon!!
