Bare with my grammar. I am a little off. It has been a down day.

Hunter is still breathing way to fast. They first tried a water pill with him. Fluid on the lungs can cause that. When that didn't work, they ordered an x-ray and blood work.

His white blood count came back high. This might indicate an infection. They took more blood work and a urine sample and sent it to the lab. We won't know anything for 48 hours. In the meantime, he is on an antibiotic that treats a wide band of infections. This is a precautionary.

He also needed another blood transfusion.

They increased his feeds to 9 ccs today. He was not tolerating it. It has been a rough day for him.
