Sorry Barbara for running off :) I was late on leaving :) Jessica was born on the 11th (c-section) she inhaled a lot of amniotic fluid so had to be on a breathing machine (c-pac?) for 3 days & then went to an oxygen deal (just the thing that goes under your nose but not in it) & that was for another day & a 1/2. then we both got to go home on fri. night. She had a low level of Jaundice but they figured she'd come out of it as did I. Well, something wasn't working right in her little body as this past Monday she ended up being admitted to the hospital for dehydration & a high level of Jaundice. she had also lost some weight. As of yesterday her Jaundice level was down to 11.9 so she's off all lights, but she's not waking up as often and eating as much as they (nurse & pediatrician) would like her to. so now they've got her on a high fat, high protein, high electrolyte IV drip to hopefully kick her system in gear & get her to fatten up some. She's (as of midnight) 6 pounds 5.6 oz's that's almost or where she was at a week ago. The Pediatrician is consulting w/some specialist at another hospital & they took a CT scan & an MRI. They want to (forget the word) eliminate (that's it) any 'possible' problems. they are only (really) focusing on from the time she was admitted this last Monday as to be the possible cause for her not waking up easily & eating a lot, but she was that way at birth. So who knows. But she's doing good, didn't like the formula that they first put her on so she wasn't eating it quickly (Enfamil) now she's on some stuff called Nutramigen(e) that she likes a lot better, but they are only feeding her it every 6 hrs. she wasn't eating the Enfamil every 3 so they figure she's just not hungry until its 6 hrs. And of course they won't admit that she could just not like the flavor (nurse). I go in & see my munchkin every 3 hrs. which I need to get off my tush to do now.

Hi Alli, Thank you for getting back to us about what you and Jessica have been going through. Our prayers are with you both. I am sure that it is tuff on you with having her in the hospital. Please keep us updated on her progress.

Please keep us updated, Alli. When the wee ones are so new they are so fragile and I know you must be worried. On the other side, my youngest daughter loved to sleep, awoke only long enough to be changed, eat and would go back to sleep. She was induced and 'they' decided she was making up for the time she would have liked to have stayed in the womb before she was forced out into this world! She probably slept 20 hours a day for the first 10 days, then all of a sudden she got hungry and started waking during the night. Once she discovered food, she ate herself through the store until she was a teenager! Never did gain much weight though. She is still fairly small. Will keep you both in my prayers.
