Ella continued to have a busy social schedule last weekend when she received a visit from Marcia and Tonya on Sunday followed by a visit with Gramma Jan, Gramma Jane, and Grampa Jim. Of course, she loved every bit of the attention.
Yanked out her replogle tube (tube that vacuums green bile from her stomach) on Monday for a slight reprieve. Unfortunately a new one had to be inserted.
Still weighing in at 790 grams (1 lb 12 oz).
Her intestines are still a big concern - the contrast material injected into her intestine still has not fully drained out. Even though the GI study as shown that there is now blockage, the doctors are hesitant to feed her until the intestines are functioning. She cannot survive indefinitely on the IV fluids, so we will be meeting with the surgeons tomorrow to get more info on her situation.
In the mean time, Ella's condition is stable, and mom and dad take turns holding her. She is much happier now without the breathing tube. When awake, she shakes-a-da-fist and kicks-a-da-leg.
More soon... Love Bill Denise Ella T
was so great to see you all..miss you guys and will be back to see our baby soon. please tell Ella that aunt Marcia loves her..
