Well, one month old anyway! It’s hard to believe, but on Friday, our little girl turned one month old. Not only did she hit that milestone, but she also made it to another – she also turned 3! Three pounds, that is. (Although, as of last night she was at 3 lbs, 2 oz). She [...]
It’s been another really good day for our girl! She is such a little trooper!! We found out last week that her little hips are quite tight due to the fact that she spends her entire day (and night) all curled up in a little ball. Because of this she isn’t able to put her [...]
Update 4/3/2010 at 9:00 am Wow, it seems like it has been a lifetime since my last post, but it has only been a few days! There have been so many changes in the last 24 hours! I want to start off though by saying thank you again. I cannot express how much your thoughts [...]
Update 3/29/2010 at 5:30pm And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Faith is the foundation and content of God’s message; hope is the attitude and focus; love is the action. When faith and hope are in line, you are free to love completely because you understand [...]
Update 3/23/10 at 4:00 pm As soon as tomorrow I may get to hear my baby girl make sounds for the first time since her birth! They have been weening her off of her other ventilator and made several changes to the settings today. Her doctor spoke with me this afternoon and said that it [...]
Update 3/22/10 at 9:20 am Update: 3/20/10 at 9:45 pm BIG UPDATE: 3/20/10 at 12:20 pm There are so many thoughts and feelings swirling around in me right now that I have trouble knowing where to begin. One thought that continuously seems to prevail above all the rest is how incredibly blessed we have been. [...]
It’s hard to believe that our little girl is already 10 days old! It’s been a busy week of running back and forth to the hospital, but it’s all been worth it. The fluid that Eliana has been retaining is slowly working its way out. Her swelling has gone down and she is looking good. [...]
I was finally released from the hospital this morning! I am now resting at home, safe and sound. Eliana is doing well this morning. Her urine output has remained good throughout the night and today, so that’s great! She seems to be less puffy today, so hopefully tonight when they weigh her we will see [...]
Eliana had another good day today. They are trying to ween her off one of her ventilators today and, so far, it has been successful. We did get word that the PDA (heart valve that didn’t close) is closed – officially. That would explain why her lungs are starting to do better. We did find [...]
Sorry for the delay in the update, but we have spent quite a bit of time with Eliana today, so that trumps me updating the site! Lots of encouraging news today – both big and small. The biggest news, although still unofficial at this time, is that it looks like the medicine she was on [...]
