He had a bad night...

We're not sure exactly what is going. When I went in for my visit yesterday afternoon Lincoln was very sleepy. Two of the times the nurse had taken his temp it was up a little bit, but not too concerning. By the time I got there it had regulated again. Now, mine and Scott's visit last night was a whole different story. It kind of started out the same....he was a bit sleepy. But right away when I tried to feed him, we noticed he wasn't himself. He would cry out, but then I would quickly be able to calm him. He had a little bit of a rough time trying to relax and just eat. When we picked him up to put him on the scale he Freaked out. After that, he couldn't stay calm. They ran a bunch of tests and everything came back negative. He would wake out of a dead sleep and cry out like he was in pain. We knew something wasn't right. We called through out the night to check on him and found that he had calmed a little compared to when we were there, but he was still uneasy. They ran some more tests and got back the results this morning. He has a major infection, they're thinking it's in his abdominal area. The doctor said he didn't want to scare us, but it's a pretty serious infection. They're not concerned for his life at this point, but he could have the potential of being put back on the ventilator and becoming very very sick. They are putting him on antibiotics right away and they'll be doing a spinal tap. His white blood count is extremely low which means he's really trying to fight it off, but can't. Scott and his brother are on their way to the hospital to give him a priesthood blessing. Please pray for my little angel to get through this.

Megan I am so sorry to hear that. We are praying for that little angel. I am so amazed by the strength you have had through all of this. Lincoln is such a handsome little guy.
