Abby update

Sorry for late update.

It has been an emotional morning as Kelly and I had to go to the morturary to finalize the arrangements for Emma and Maddy. Abby is doing okay for the moment. Her spells have been more frequent in the past 24 hours. I thought it might be due to the fact that the docs haven't pulled any fluid from the reservoir in her head. Before when her head was getting larger and the fluid was building up, Abby started to have more frequent spells like she's doing now, and when they pulled some fluid out she calmed down almost immediately. However today, Abbys head hasn't shown any significant growth, her blood gas levels are fine, and she doesn't have any infections based on the cultures the nurses took at the beginning of the week...so we're a bit confused. A ll those things are good and shows that Abby is "clinically" healthy, but our nurse Laura is at a loss as to why she's been having so many spells. It might just be Abby being Abby, either way it's making us nervous.

Abby's tummy still isn't digesting well so she hasn't been able to be put back on a feeding schedule. Abby still gets Lipids, or fat, as well as a TPN IV which contains all the nutrients she needs. Nobody will deny that mommas milk is the best thing for her so we're anxious for her to get back on her feeding schedule. As I mentioned the other day regarding her tummy, the docs didn't find anything technically wrong with it, so it could just be Abby being Abby...again. She is still on the CPAP so that's good. We are hoping that this whole spell situation rectifies soon.

Prayers all around for Abby to keep fighting. Toss some out there for mommy too. This morning was rough to say the least.

We love you all!
