Bentley
Saturday, January 15, 2011
1 month old!!!
Well, it's been a crazy few weeks. Everyone is home! Thankfully no one is in the hospital. But we have been back, Bentley has some (about 7) red adhesion's on his omphalocele so we called the surgeon, they said to go to emerg at the Children's so off we went. They took Bentley without a wait and 2 residents and Dr.Wong came within about 10 minutes. To their surprise and to our relief what could have been "rupture" turned out to be a fungal infection. So just some more cream added to his daily dressing changes. Then our family DR. called and said she wanted to meet Bentley so we took him for a "visit" or so we thought. She then told us that he had tested positive for one of the genes for Cystic Fibrosis. We got a call yesterday that the further testing will be done on January 26th and we will get the results that same day at 4pm. So with that we wait, hoping for the best. Apparently a lot (1in 25) of people are "carriers" so it might not be a big deal but for now of course we worry. Bentley is such a good baby. Bergen has been full of vinegar but always nice to his baby brother & Brooklyn and Bailey are also doing great amongst all the stress and running around. We are so thankful for our families and friends help. Thanks Grandma Chris for coming back up to help~ We loved having you. We will be back at the Children's for our weekly appointment on Monday hopefully to get no more unexpected news.

Oh my goodness! Nicole, I know I haven't met your husband, but I cannot believe how much Bentley looks like you! He is so cute, and so strong! Congrats on being able to take him home so soon, I wish Madison would have been home that soon. I would love to meet up, let me know what works for you.
