We never did completely figure out what caused his infection; however, he responded well to the antibiotics and each day he got a little stronger.
Rachel developed a low grade temperature and required some antibiotics which extended her stay for a day in the hospital, but this ended up being a bit of a blessing. Henry was in a different part of the hospital, but it was a quick elevator ride to see him, and it was nice to be able to run up and see him as much as we wanted while Rachel was in the hospital.
Once Rachel got discharged, we had to run back and forth to the hospital which added a bit of a logistical challenge. Luckily the hospital was not too far away. We were lucky to have some family and friend support through all of this which helped tremendously to not have to worry about meals or running errands.

Henry spent a total of 6 days in the ICU. It was a challenging 6 days, but it was made infinitely easier by a dedicated and caring staff at the hospital. We are thankful for their help throughout this. Our hearts go out to the other families that had little ones in the ICU and we hope that they can make it home soon with healthy little ones!
