Abby update

Hola,

Well let's see. Thursday was a good day in many respects. Abby is still on the nasal cannula and her repiratory system seems to be doing well. We went up on her feeds to 6.8 CCs from 5 CC's of milk every three hours. Her little tummy does pretty well sometimes and then other times decides it doesn't want to digest anything. Abby has a yellowish tube going down her nose...that's her feeding tube. So before Abby's nurse gives her the milk through that tube, she'll take a syringe, connects it to the tube and pulls back on it to see if there is anything in her belly. If there's a bunch of milk still in her tummy, they'll hold off on feeding her. But for the most part she's doing pretty well. And yes, she had another poop today! Neither the yeast nor the bacteria cultures have come back positive so we're starting to feel more confident that they're gone. Abby also had an eye exam today. T he eye doc just wanted to come see her and get her on his rotation and start watching her, but for now, the consesus was that she has premature eyes and he'll be back in two weeks. Okay! Thanks for stopping by! After that, Abby got a visit from the neurosurgeon and he pulled out 8 CC's of fluid from her head. We're hoping that helps her spells, which has been the only downfall today. She's having quite a few of them. It is possible that the pressure that builds up in her head from the fluid can cause these. As of Thursday night, she seemed to be doing better.

That's all for now Abby Fans. Love you guys.
Have a good weekend!
