Abby update from Ryan

Hello everyone,

Last night Kelly and I planned to make it an early night but our nurse, Karen, asked Kelly if she wanted to hold Abby. Long story short, we didn't leave until midnight. She did great the entire time and has really come to love her pacifier. It is unbelievable how adorable she is when she sucks on it. However, after we left, Abby had quite a rough night. At 1AM she started having her spells and had about 24 of them between 1AM and 6:30AM. She was given her daily dose of caffeine in the morning which stimulates her and gives her more energy to breathe and that helped. Then momma showed up around 10AM and she's been doing a lot better. In fact, as I type this momma is holding Abby again.

Now... on to the updates on the yeast infection. There really isn't an update. Tomorrow we will know what kind of yeast it is so the docs will be able to attack it more aggressively. Right now she's on a more broad "let's cover our bases" kind of antibiotic. There is some concern that the yeast would spread to the fluid in her brain, but so far that hasn't happened, which is good news. So for now it's a waiting game.

I must say, it does appear that Abby does better when momma is here. Regarding her tummy, she is doing okay. She gets 1CC of mommas milk every 3 hours but they may skip a feeding if she hasn't digested what's in her belly which has happened from time to time. At the moment she is doing fine and back on the regular feeding schedule. Abby was also given another enema yesterday because the 1st one didn't work, and she had a huge poop!

More pics are coming soon!
Thank you all for your love and support. We love you all!
