NEC day 7...

Lincoln is still fighting NEC. But the nurse does think his stomach may look a little better today so that is good. His platelet count was down to 17 last night and he had another transfusion. This morning they are up to 70. We still have no answers and his xrays are staying the same. No one can tell us anything other than to wait and see. We didn't even get to see a doctor yesterday but did speak to the NNP for a minute... they have no idea if the NEC will go away or when or if any intestines are damaged or dead. They just monitor him and wait. His potassium continues to drop down dangerously low so he got another bolus of potassium along with his platelets last night. He is definitely proving how strong he is by fighting this off!
