Update from UTMB

First of all here are the pictures of Kyle's feet over the last week.
This is what his heel looked like the day we brought him home.

And his toes the day we came home:
And his heel, toes and finger yesterday when we arrived at UTMB.
He got his IV placed last night around 10 pm and received his first dose of antibiotics. He is receiving them every 6 hours and we are putting antibiotic ointment on it as well. He is not running a fever, he is feeding well and other than his bobos he is acting completely normal. After only 2 doses of antibiotics we can already see a difference in his heel. It looks like it is trying to scab like his toes have already done. So we are hopeful that this stay will not end up being too long. We are waiting on the infectious disease doctor to come by and hopefully we will have a better idea of what the plan is after that. Here are a few more pictures of our stay so far.

Just chillin in his boppy lounger

Lounging again
We used his little stuffed animal to keep him from rubbing his feet together
