Blame Canada

We took a little hiatus from pictures. This picture is from April 18, 2008. The whole ordeal started on April 14, Happy birthday dad. Griffin had some discolouration around his belly button early that day. The Resident and Fellow on duty that day were quick to react as if it was attributed to NEC, necrotizing enterocolitis. Not a good situation. His feeding was stopped and he was given antibiotics.



It turned out not to be the case. It was a very stressful day for everyone. We are not sure if the same things would have happened if we were still in Seattle, but the difference between his care in BC vs. Seattle has started to show.
Griffin had his beautiful hair shaved so that he could get an IV in his forehead. Once that came out they shaved more and moved it farther onto his head. It is difficult to see it placed on his head when you arrive to see him.
Mommy and Griffin spending a moment to reflect on the week. Mommy spent the night there to ensure that he wasn't poked during the wee hours.
