Update April 11

Eleanor is on the mend. She is off the ventilator and back on the oxygen. The oxygen is at a low rate - She is mostly breathing on her own. Today she started feeding again. Just a little bit as not to upset her tummy, but enough to keep her full. She is much calmer when she is full.


The doctors do not know what illness she had but they said they don't always figure it out. Her blood culture is negative for bacteria at 72 hours and that is great! Hopefully whatever was bothering her will be out of her system. Her color is much better too. Eleanor had a sonogram on her head to check for bleeding of the ventricles. We will Not hear from the radiologist until tomorrow, but the technician doing the sonogram said it doesn't look like there is any bleeding. If there is any bleeding, most likely it will just be absorbed and cause no problems.


During this infection she was able to put on one ounce!! It is surprising to us. We thought she would loose weight. Eleanor is now back to her birth weight of. 2 lbs 7 ounces. We are so happy.


MaMare left today to go back to New Orleans. She misses Eleanor so much. We miss her too. Today was the first day she got to meet her other grandmother, Kaki. She just loved her Kaki. Kaki said she is the most beautiful baby in the world. Today she was taking after her Kaki because during both visits she just slept.


All for now, we will post more pics in the am.
