    The boys are doing really well. Lucas continues to fight his infection but seemed much more alert this morning.

    Lucas’ 24 hour blood culture came back negative which means the antibiotics are working and my little boy is working hard to get rid of the bug. So Lucas’ haircut looks awful. Haha.

    Aunt Amanda came to meet the boys today and it looks like she fell in love. A couple tears came down. In the last couple of days, Lucas has come off insulin and is eating 2ml of milk.
