Changes

Well the echos and head scans looked good on both babies today. The plan is still for Alexander to go home Thursday. He is eating really well. The doctor decided to leave Alexander on straight breast milk versus taking a chance that he won't tolerate the supplement again. His growth curve looks good and even though he will not gain as much without the supplement, the doctor is pleased with the growth. We will continue to watch it over the next few days just to make sure.

Isabel was unable to have her swallow study. The doctor was concerned with the amount of blood in her stool and decided to hold off on putting barium in her tummy. They did and x ray and Isabel has a lot of air in her digestive tract. We had to stop all breast milk of any kind so her bowels can rest. She had an IV placed and is receiving fluids for the next couple of days. Please pray that she recovers quickly and can get back on her milk.

It seems we are being tested, but we know we can handle this with a little help from the big guy :)

Love,

Susan
