Pooping Machine
When I talked to the dr. today he said things look pretty good. They're going to increase her feedings to 4 cc's!! They'll drop her iv fluids (lipids). He said there's not much they can do to change vent settings, but maybe later if her blood gas is in the 40s. He said her belly looks nice and soft. She's been a pooping machine today. (I'm sure she'll appreciate me telling you this when she's 16-years-old.) She's not getting enough salt, but they are giving her some orally. He's hoping that they will be able to take her iv out tomorrow. I asked about her lungs. He said they are still looking a little hazy and they will need to watch carefully for chronic lung disease. More tomorrow....

Great news on the feedings! That's such a good sign. And yay for poop! Someday Cate and Elijah will be commiserating about all the information we shared about them with the world. :)
Continuing to pray for you all. I'm so glad you're able to stay with your mom and be closer to Cate. Give her a gentle little smooch from us. xoxoxo
Such good news!!!! Try to focus on all the good and not to worry to much about anything else (I know that is easier said). Our little twin was diagnosed with chronic lung disease, but now, at 18 months he was given a clean bill of health by the pulmonologist and told that his lungs are as healthy as any other child now. Cate is doing so great! I will keep praying for the feeds to increase and the poop to continue :) We had a couple of scary nights with no 1 or 2 and when it finally happened, we were crying and dancing around the NICU like a bunch of crazy people :) Funny how the perspective changes.....
Blessings,
