Roller Coaster Anyone?

Have I mentioned this is like a roller coaster ride?

The quick run down on the last 12 hrs...... Colby got moved to Pod A which was awesome that is the step down NICU where babies go when they are doing better.... Becca fed him at his 11 PM feeding last night he wasn't much on nursing compared to his feeding at 7:30 but he still ate from a bottle. He was having some issue maintaining his body temp but it wasn't a huge concern they said that was pretty normal since he was no longer in the giraffe bed (the big NICU isolet bed). We put some clothes on him and wrapped him in some blankets and his nurse said he would be fine or she would put him back in the warmer bed. We headed home around 1:00 to catch a little sleep.
Becca called his nurse at 3:30 AM to see if his body temp had stabilized.... Hold on cause here comes the twist and hills....
The nurse told Becca she needed to talk to the on-call doctor. Colby had refused to eat a lot at his 2 AM feeding and had decided not to behave anymore (wasn't acting like Colby had been acting). They wanted to do another spinal tap to check to see if had an infection.... They moved him over to Pod I (regular NICU), put his catheter back in, started him back on IV fluids, put him back in a giraffe bed, scheduled him for another MRI, and started him on some antibiotics, and his SATS have dropped a little. Oh yes no longer in Posh Pod A.
Apparently Colby liked the attention he received in Pod F earlier in the week so he wanted to visit another "full service" Pod. The bright side... he is still seizure free since Tuesday and he is still doing pretty good from all we know right now....
Hopefully we will have more info soon. Please keep the prayers going.... Colby likes the attention.
