Same old, same old!










Nothing majorly new here. There was talk of going home today, but that quickly diminished when Brooke again did not tolerate her feedings and her diarrhea got worse. So they are trying a new formula in her tube feeding and plan to finish her antibiotic through her IV. That will be done on Wednesday. The MD said today there is not much to do til the antibiotic is done. She is little and the antibiotic is hard on her body. So we wait til Wednesday. She is not eating anything by mouth, just her tube feedings. She has not been on oxygen for 3 days. That is really good. Her hemoglobin is holding at 10.4. That is also good. There are always some positives. The girls got to open a present from Grandpa and Grandma Blueberry today with their cousins. (We are stretching out Christmas) I also talked to them about Brookie again not being able to come home. They are troopers. They look at the "fun" things they get to do like watch more TV up there, eat cafeteria food (yuck), and wear a fun gown to hold Brooke. The girls are so caring and patient, We are so proud of them.
