Raymond definitely has an infection

It is something really fierce as it grew in <24 hours. Gram negative, rods. Drs are evaluating an approach.

Update: He's continuing to deteriorate and they are supporting him in pretty much every way possible with blood transfusions, platelets and plasma and antibiotics and of course heavy ventilator support. It will take some time to find a more effective antibiotic so in the meantime they are trying to keep him as stable as possible to give everything a chance to work and hope that he can recover and that there hasn't been any permanent damage...

Hi, Not sure if you remember us, but it's Sally here (from Sally, Nick, Ruby & Beatrix - the Brits from Hoboken). Sharon Wells forwarded me your wonderful news - Congratulations and we will have you all (especially Raymond) in our thoughts and prayers and remember that every day your beautiful little babies grow stronger and stronger. It won't be that long before you are running around trying to keep up with them all!

Lots of Love & Prayers, Nick, Sally, Ruby & Beatrix Wright x x x

Ted & Christie, You continue in our prayers, especially Raymond as he battles this infection. I remember how uncertain everything felt in these times. Please know you're in our thoughts. Tell Raymond there are many fighting and praying for him.
We're happy to hear that Sofia, and Daniel continue to be stable.
Take care,
Karri & Kirk Friedenberger
