No Ellie Left Behind

The results are in for Ellie's assessment. She has had no residual (not even air) at her last couple feedings and she has had a stool in her last couple diapers. Her temperature has been normal all day. Her height (40 cm / 15.75") measured the same as last week and her blood pressure measured normal (76/42). She also 50 breaths/min and 164 heartbeats/min. And after listening to her breath the nurse didn't notice any heart murmur. This could mean the heart murmur has gone away. (We'll ask Ellen on Monday.) Her heart murmur being gone could mean that her PDA vessel has shrunk/closed/disappeared/isnotaproblemanymore. Pray for all three Gramkows to get some good rest (especially mommy). And praise God for a healthy baby girl!

  1. The Gramkow Team seems so strong and optimistic. I know the stresses have got to be great but you are a shining light in the midst of this! Your daughter is beautiful...and Praise the Lord for her continued good health!
