Mr. Josh decided that he missed the attention of the doctors and nurses in the NICU.
So, he went and got himself a staph infection in his umbilical cord.
It's actually a fairly serious thing, because the umbilical cord leads to all sorts of fun organs on the inside of the body. And if it gets infected, it can quickly spread and wreak all sorts of havoc.
Not an artificial cherry medicine fan.
So, this week has been one of doctor's appointments, labs, and antibiotics.
But...
Today, the redness has begun to retreat and he doesn't have a fever.
Today, the doctor said that he is looking good.
Today, I love Sir Alexander Fleming and his mold.
Tomorrow, I will begin to get caught up on blogging and posting pictures of my super-cute baby.
(I've never claimed to not be biased).

Oh, my goodness...my poor Joshua! Morgan had the hardest time with his cord...had to have it cauterized not once but twice, and the Dr. was sooo worried because he had lost a baby a few days before we came in the first time to just such an infection! I am so thankful for antibiotics!!! Joshua is just an absolute doll...and we Grandma's (me, Kathy, Dorrie, Nano, et. al.) LOVE pics!!!
Poor kid. :(
He is SUCH a cuuuutie!
