Overall, Noelle was stable today, but she has dropped 20 grams again
putting her down to 14.8 oz. This was the main focus of the doctors
today as they are trying to get her over this plateau and get her
caloric intake increased so that she starts gaining weight and growing.
It is a lot of adjustment back and forth with various fluids she is
receiving along with the breastmilk so we are praying for wisdom for the
doctors and good reception for Noelle of all her fluids so that she
gets the most out of them and can start growing. She also had to
receive blood transfusion today as her hemoglobin was low again. She
did have a heart murmur as well, but they are suspicious it is due to
the anemia from her low hemoglobin so hopefully that clears up with the
transfusion. Jill was able to hold her again for a short time tonight
which was a special blessing~each time is a special treat and never long
enough, so we are grateful for each minute that we are able to enjoy
that with her. So overall she is stable but really needs to grow.
Thank you for your continued prayers. We hope you had a wonderful
Christmas!!
