The infection

Appears to be going away!  Thank you Jesus

When they found the infection his "markers" were at 1.9 -- normal is 0.5.  The next day they spiked up to 15 and the next test showed 16, so the nurses felt he was levelling off.  Yesterday he was down to 5 which shows the infection is going down.  He won't have another test until tomorrow (30th) at 4am. 

So, THANK YOU for all the prayers, but the little booger isn't out of the woods yet.  Even after we get his infection to go away, he still needs to get that brain developing and get rid of his cysts.  This infection has been a distraction from the cysts, and my prayer is that just maybe that medicine he got for the infection could work a miracle in his brain!

The nurses have become really fond of Brayden, which is AWESOME because they now all know his personality which helps them determine if something is wrong.  They said he is a squirmer and when he had his infection he wasn't squirming at all.  I called this morning and the nurse said he had tried to squirm right off his bed, so that is a good sign.

Please keep praying.

Love you all....DD
