Hospital Stay


We were in the hospital for 10 days after Johnathan was born due to pneumonia. We were ready to leave and go home when his fever spiked after being taken off of antibiotics, which resulted in several tests to determine what caused the fever to spike. We were told it could be either viral or bacterial meningitis, however after several attempts at a spinal tap, the doctor ruled out meningitis as she knew he pneumonia.

It was hard seeing him poked for a new IV several times while we were there, but I am so thankful that we were allowed to stay with him and I didn't have to pump to feed him. We were blessed by the staff of nurses that were there and so thankful when we got to go home!


His little hand covered with a sock to protect the IV.


The first sponge bath I gave him.


Taken right before he became really fussy due to the gas he got from the 4 antibiotics.
