Not out of the woods yet

Plan B turned into plan C quickly.  Hugo's glucose levels dipped to 32 on Saturday afternoon and caused some forehead wrinkles around the wing--anything under 50 causes concern.  The doctors believe that either Hugo isn't assimilating his diet properly or there could be a blood infection.  He has mild jaundice, a treatable condition that didn't cause much worry, but not knowing what was affecting him was very scary.  He has submitted a blood sample for analysis and remains transferred to NICU--newborn intensive care unit.  Seeing our newborn son connected to machines was not how we imagined things would be.  We have outgrown the initial panic that overtook us because most of his tests have turned out fine; we await the results of a blood infection test but so far no news--which is good news--has surfaced.  He will certainly remain in close observation with glucose IV until Monday evening but there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel; what a tunnel it has been! 

I don't feel so hot, ma...
