Eh...it was a so, so week

Willa's infection is a staph infection in her blood.  It sounds scary but the doctors assure me that the antibiotics they have her on will treat it.  It's just a waiting game to see if the blood cultures grow each time they take them.  As of tonight the cultures they drew on the 19th have not grown anything yet.  Yay!  This bug may be gone finally.  If that is the case we can get a PICC line in soon so the IV's can stop.  I think Willa has had at least 5 different IV's since the infection was first discovered.  Poor girl :(
Her feedings were going well and she was up to 7 mL.  That is until Thursday.  We got a call at the house Thursday night from the doctor.  They only call when something is wrong.  So of course Mom panicked.  The doctor assured me everything was fine with her.  She had a bit of blood in her stool that day so they were concerned.  They decided to stop her feedings for a day.  She had x-rays taken of her abdomen and blood drawn for tests Thursday night and Friday morning.  There were no signs of any wrong from the x-rays and the blood tests and she has good bowel sounds and a nice soft tummy. 
Willa has been off the nasal cannula since she threw a fit on her two week birthday on the 18th.  They decided to try her back on the nasal cannula today (the 21st) for 3 hours and then back to the CPAP for 6 hours (they call this sprinting).  She did very well for the first few minutes then she kept having A's & B's.  I'm so glad the nurse was close.  Willa got very pale and and was really struggling to take a breath.  The nurse kept the oxygen mask next to her until the respitory therapist could come and switch her back to the CPAP.  It was definitely a scary moment.
Now some good news; Willa gained an ounce this week.  She is now up to 1 lb 7 oz.  Hopefully everything is ok with her tummy so she can get back to feeds again and gain some weight.  And in case you missed it, I got the best picture of miss Willa before she threw her fit today.  I love my girl!
