update on Caroline

During rounds this morning, the specialists and ICU doctors treating Caroline talked to us about what might be going on and so forth. We did notice that she is weaker this morning than she has been. This could be a result of either a lack of nutrition or whatever is ailing her. She has been put on an NG tube for nutrition. She is getting breastmilk though the tube.

Her initial MRI results are normal. Initial blood work is also normal. The doctors are thinking, right now, that she might have infant botulism. Botulism is a nerve toxin that causes muscle weakness and lethargy. Doc is here, I will continue later...
