Kind of a bummer day. They found blood in his stool. In preemies this means possible NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis). It can mean a pretty serious infection of the bowels. So they stopped all his feeding by mouth and put him back on IV nutrition. As with most things Sam the doctors can't say more what this means and we just have to hurry up and wait-getting more x-rays and lab tests. At the very least it means another extra 7-10 days in the hospital.
