And Now We Are Two

2 lbs, 2 oz!! FATTY!

However, too many desaturations, high white blood cell count and ‘poor weight gain’ lead them to believe she might be fighting an infection in her blood. ("In addition to the pneumonia? Maybe she's just fighting the pneumonia," I say. "But we're already treating the pneumonia," they say. What do I know? I studied English and philosophy.) Test results on the blood culture come back tomorrow pm.

Also, possible thyroid issue – might also be related to her fighting off a secondary infection (or, uh, could be nothing). They’re seeking the advice of thyroid expert to check whether/how to follow up.
