Charlie Wore a Hat

Since we spend a lot of blog words telling you about their illnesses, how about a quick picture of Charlie in a hat?

Now, back to normal programming;

As mentioned, Charlie has an infection so he got stuck a lot (hence the bruise) and his feeds are on pause again at the moment. I would describe Charlie's curve as downward last week until Friday, then up on Fri, Sat, Sun and level / down on Mon and Tue. Nutrition, nutrition, nutrition at the moment. Infection is, of course, a worry but we feel confident that the antibiotics will get it. The problem is that the infection cost him his PICC line, which affects his (you guessed it) nutrition and, maybe, the antibiotics and the stress of the infection are having an effect on his ability to process his feeding.

Henry looks a lot better. He is over a week post-op now so they are starting to talk about getting him onto a feeding routine too. First off, shed a bit more of the fluid he took on and convince everyone he is well enough. 

Nutrition, nutrition, nutrition.
