Dorothy update

On Saturday April 16th all the babies were to get their picc lines out. This was supposed to a big step for them because it meant they didn’t need any more antibiotics. I would have thought that the nurse would have checked out the kids before she pulled them but apparently she didn’t. About 2 minutes after Dorothy had hers pulled Mommy found a large growth or bump right underneath Dorothy’s left cheek. This has been a scary turn of events for Dorothy who has been a rock up until this point. We know God is in control and that this is just a part of giving birth to premature babies. The doctor drained and took out the lump over the next couple of days. Even with this new bump she still is eating, sleeping, and breathing very well. Her body temperature and heart rate have been right where they need to be. We can tell she is a fighter. She was immediately put on antibiotics to help treat whatever it was. We soon found out that Dorothy had a staff infection better known as MRSA. We ask that everyone prays for her healing and that she can get right back on track where she was before.
