Not RSV

The nurse just came in a few minutes ago and said that the test for RSV came back negative. I'm now waiting to speak to the doctor to hear any other throries on what it could be. Lila had an ok night. Still lots of coughing and choking. She did vomit up a bunch of mucous early this morning. During the night she was suctioned again and had 2 breathing treatments. She's definitely sleeping more peacefully. Her blood work came back and showed an increase in white blood cells which makes sense if her body is fighting off an infection. Please pray for my milk supply to stay up even though she is receiving almost all of her nurishment via the IV. I'm pumping but I already feel a drop off in production.
On a different note, Ken got an interesting report from the babysitter. Here's what he wrote:
So here's a story for ya. Shayleen (the mom who took Brad yesterday) said that she changed Brad's poopy diaper and that Brad told her he knows how to go potty. So after that, when he had to pee, she said that he stood up in front of the toilet and did some pee in the potty!!! I said "What!? No. That isn't right. He's never done that before." She said, "Well, he seemed to know what to do." Then I said, "OK Shayleen, Brad will be spending more time at your house this week!" So after everyone left, I asked Brad about it. He said "I did a mo-bit (that's how he says "little bit" pee in the potty."

Hang in there, Lori. Praying God's peace will comfort you in the uncertainty and waiting. And praying wisdom for the doctors! Btw, too funny about Brad. That Shayleen sure does have a way with kids!! She rocks! :)

Awesome! God has a way of sprinkling some good news in when we need it. He may decide he is all ready to be a big boy. Hang in there. Lots of love.

So glad to read the update, Lori--that Lila doesn't have RSV!! We're praying for God's wisdom for MDs. Thankfully, she is getting the wonderful care she needs--from great hospital staff, her mom at her side and angels all around!)
Too funny about Brad. We love it!!
