Friday Fun Day

So sorry it's taken us so long to get an update about our little Ellie. Early this morning we were all getting on the road - Grandma Weber went back to Iowa, and Mom and Dad went to Manhattan for her 2 week check up for her C-Section incision. This morning I called around 3:30 a.m. and Ellie last night had 10-15 desats and 2 bradies that needed O2. She did well on tolerating her feedings and POOPED ON HER OWN! Wahoo! We were so excited about this! Obviously her Dr was too because they discontinued her daily enemas. She had two "smears" I think is what they called it today...add that one to the glossary Daddy! They also increased her feedings to 10 mLs every three hours (that's 1/3 of an ounce!) and has been tolerating them all day as well. She has been hanging out mostly on her tummy today but still had about 17 bradies today - but only 4 of them registered to call the nurse (i.e. most of them were very short). All of them today were self-resolved. Mom had a hard time going back to their Skybox Apartment in Jardine - just felt so weird to be there without Ellie. All I could think about is how our apt is SO not ready and babyproofed yet! But it was good to grab some more clothes, run the dishwasher, clean out the fridge...as quick as possible though of course because we sure wanted to get back to our little Ellie. Well, we've unloaded our stuff at Ronnie's, and we're heading back to the hospital - excited for tonight's weigh in and hopefully we get to hold her again tonight. *Oh, by the way, we did get to hold her last night too - Mom got some precious kangaroo hold and Dad got to conventional hold. It was a bit emotional since we've missed out on the last couple nights due to her untolerated feedings and bradies. So precious to feel her breathe on my chest and move the tiniest fingers I've ever seen... Until next time - we'll see what she weighs in tonight at...heard she's been sleeping most of the day and hopefully not burning many calories! She is SO close to three pounds! So yeah, we'll see. Blessing and thanks for your faithful prayers, Team Gramkow
