Little Ella continue to grow, and is now up to 3lbs 3oz. She is now over 7 weeks old.
In a holding pattern with her feeding and breathing.
Friday night she had about 3oz of green bile in her belly, but since then almost nothing. So, her belly seems to have calmed. We are hoping that the doctors will allow the feedings to resume on Monday.
Friday our little vampire got a transfusion since her hermatocrit (red blood cell) level was on the low side. This seems to have made her happier, but still she swings on her oxygen levels - mostly she just gets lazy and decides not to breathe for about 20 seconds at a time. Hopefully as she ages, she will see the error in her ways.
