When Adam was born, the pediatrition came in the following morning and said that his white blood cell count was elevated and some other thing was off with his blood. They said they had to take him to the NICU to put in an IV and re-test him… that he may have an infection and would have to be in the NICU. It was so upsetting and unnerving hearing this… oh my gosh, I still get upset thinking about it.

He was gone for HOURS. Fortunately, my high-risk OB had come in to check on me and I told her what had happened. She looked into it and said that the count wasn’t even that high and not too panic (yeah right). Long story short… the number before WAS a “false positive” and he was able to come back in the room with me. Talk about being thankful — and yet still so shaken up by the whole experience.

I hope you don’t mind me sharing… reading your words brought it all back. I’m so happy that Taylor is home with you now, thank goodness! Okay, I’m going to go back to your posts to read about the following days in the NICU…
