DH and I went up to visit Dawson today and the Dr is a bit concerned about the possibility of an infection. Dawson's oxygen needs are continuing to move from one end of the spectrum to the other, with no consistency. They did a transfusion today and a dose of steroids to the lungs yesterday, but neither seem to be helping even things out.
They have determined that my PTL was caused by an infection, as they were able to find traces of it in my placenta. While my stats at admission did not reflect an infection and Dawson has yet to show signs they are still worried. So they started 2 antibiotics today just in case. We will know in about 48 hours if there are signs of infection in his blood, but at that point we will already be 2 days ahead on the medication. We just need to pray that an infection does not reach his lungs.
