We are still waiting to hear what type of infection Stephen has.  His fever has seemed to go away and they have put him on 2 antibiotics that they refer to as "the big guns".   It is always hard to move backwards especially after he was progressing so rapidly after his surgery.  There was talk for awhile about us being able to soon go home and now we could be here for 2-3 more weeks depending on the type of infection and the length of antibiotics that will need to be given.  That was hard news to hear but I would rather be here a little longer and have a healthy kid in the end so I am over it  =0)  He also had to have a PICC line inserted last night. (A central IV line for his antibiotics)  It was a bummer for us because we have now lost the freedom to pick him up without a nurses help.  But I just remember how lucky I am to even be able to hold him and all is well.  This little guy has seriously been through so much.  When my other 3 kiddos would cry as infants I remember jokingly saying to them "I know you have a rough life.  You eat, sleep and poop".  But when this little guy cries I truly feel for him.  He has had such a rough life.  This little guy has been through more than most of us adults.  I am pretty sure he has been stuck by a needle more times in his 2 weeks than I have in my 30 years.  I just pray this is an easy infection to beat and that we can all be home together soon!
