Quick Update

I just re-read my post from last night. I didn't really proofread it before I posted it, so I apologize for the incoherence. I really do understand that the comma is only helpful when it is used properly. My excuse is that I was watching the final quarter of the Auburn-Oregon game and entering into deep stages of exhaustion. Not the best time to start writing, at least not if you want anyone to understand what you writing.
We're still waiting for lab results, so we don't have a definite word on what kind of infection Will has. He is doing better today, though. His platelet levels are up. His color is better. He packed on a whopping 2 ounces. He was pretty active when I held him. He was much more alert...I guess. I'm not really sure how alert a one week old preemie is supposed to be. The doctor and nurses seemed encouraged, though...and when they are encouraged, I am encouraged.
The spinal tap lab results should be done before the end of the week. Everything still seems to point toward whatever Kim has/had. The Pediatric Infectious Disease doctor (now you're talking specialist) wasn't willing to make any kind of diagnosis until those labs came back. So now we wait...well, we've been waiting, so now we wait some more.
