One step forward, 2 steps back :(

Man oh man These are the trying days of being a princess :( For the first 3 weeks of my life I was doing sooo good but now for the last 3 weeks not so much :( So as you probably guessed today was not soo good for me :( Yesterday as you probably know they took me off my food and put me back to the IV because I kept throwing up all my food. Then they ran tests on me that came back saying that I might still have my intestinal infection. On top of that I might also have a babies form of pneumonia now. Oye I know, it sounds bad. So I guess I have two infections now and because of all the air in my tummy from the infections and the breathing machine they had to run yet another tube down into my tummy to get all the air out. They also had to put an IV back into my arm to do a blood transfusion today. And because of all this I am on 3 forms of medications to help my infections, and to top things off there may be some form of bacteria on my feeding tubes that they have to keep cleaning off and that includes cleaning out my mouth all the time. Finally, I have been taken back off mama's milk for another week. 
I know I had all these projections on where I was gonna be at during this week, like having my PICC line out and being off the respirator and being back to my full feeds of milk, but being a little preemie princess like myself, it's so hard to project things. There are good days, and VERY good days, but there are also the bad days. It's really hard for my little body to fight off all the bad things in the air, and then there were the risks of hurting my tummy when I had my heart medication, which has pretty much lead me to where I am right now. Bottom line is I am still very sick :( 
They are still giving me pain medications to make me feel better though. I know in the long run I will be ok, and things will get better, I am a fighter and I have faith I will be out of here sooner rather than later. I just gotta keep fighting the good fight and I will be in my mommy and daddies arms soon :) So please keep the prayers coming because once again I could sure use them! With all that being said I am afraid I am gonna have to cut out all my visits with my family and friends. I am just took sick right now for visitors mostly because of the fact it really excites me when I get visitors and that's not really helping me heal much at the moment. So it's just gonna be mommy and daddy for now till I am better :( I'm really sorry guys but I HAVE to get better!! 
But on a much happier note Mommy and Daddy did come in to do there normal duties, my temp was 37.1C and mama changed me and wrapped me back up so I could go back to sleep. I was pretty warm because I was sick of course :( I weighed 3 pounds 8 ounces so yes my weight dropped a little bit ... Well like before, I have told you all that good news or bad I would tell you whats going on, I knew the day I forced my way out of mommy's tummy that I was in for a journey and it was not just gonna be a walk in the park, but don't worry guys I am here to fight and I will win this fight!! Again I am really sorry about the visits but let me get better first okay :) I love you all and its time for me to get back to sleep, so send me your good wishes and prayers, and good night :)
Good Night Mommy, dont worry about me :) I will be okay and I love you !!
