Just to keep you updated - we finally learned from the lab that Casey had "regular" staph infection, which is only resistant to penicillin. Therefore, we got her started on an antibiotic on Friday, and because she still seems very healthy and the belly button has continued to be clear since Tuesday, we're feeling good about this.
She has, however, begun having a "witching hour" (or three hours, really) each evening. It starts anywhere from about 4:00PM through 7:00PM and then lasts quite awhile, where we might get her quiet for about 10 minutes at a time only. During this fussy period, she eats every 45-60 minutes, and that's been a new experience for Mommy!
When the "witching" ends, she finally falls asleep for a good stretch, and we've learned to head straight to bed - whether it's 8:00PM or 11:00PM. We'll take sleep where we can find it!!
Now that we're getting used to this routine, I'm sure that Casey will switch things up on us soon. But I guess what we're really getting used to is the fact that Casey is always changing - and we're learning how to roll with her punches, thankfully!
More pictures (and a little explanation of giving her medicine!) soon.

"Witching hour", huh?? 32 years ago, we called it "colic"!! I do understand it, though! It will pass, but not soon enough! lol Good luck, and just hang in there.
