Eleanor in ICU

On my way back to the hospital (with Greer and in-laws in tow), Alex called to let me know that the nurses had taken Eleanor to the neo-natal ICU with a possible infection. Apparently, Eleanor was not getting enough oxygen in her blood - which caused her to have problems staying awake during feedings, etc. After arriving, Duncan and I went to visit Eleanor in the ICU and speak with the doctors about what to expect next. In response to possible infections, they have her on antibiotics and a ventiator to aid her oxygen intake. They have also been running a battery of tests to check for infection, etc. The doctor expects to have her in the ICU for up to a week - and Alex and I will most likely stay until Monday to make sure Quinn doesn't have any similar problems. As of now, Quinn is plugging along - eating well and responding quickly to outside stimuli like a healthy baby. So...we can be thankful for that.

That's the latest for now...

Thanks for your continued prayers and support.
