Lincoln day 11

Little Lincoln is 11 days old. He was born at 25 weeks and one day on April 5, 2009. He weighed 1 pound 8.5 ounces and was 12.5" long. Luckily I had the betamethisone shots the week before he was born which helped his lungs mature. He had a great first week but this second week has been very rough. On Monday he started out looking and feeling great but by the afternoon he had lost his color and was very very sick. After several blood cultures and tests it was determined he has an infection in his intestines. It could easily turn into NEC which at worst will mean surgery. We are praying it does not progress and xrays have shown it is not progressing at this time. He was placed on antibiotics to battle the infection and they seem to be working. Unfortunately throughout the day yesterday he began to have blood in his urine.. at one point it was all blood. Ultrasounds were done on the kidneys and early results show they do not think it is a blood clot but will have to monitor it closely. If it is a blood clot or bleeding continues he will be transferred to Children's to be monitored by kidney specialists.. this would not be good as there is no safe way to treat this in a child of his size. We've been traveling to Columbus all day every day to be with him as much as possible and appreciate all the support and prayers.
