Sorry for the lapse in blogging... I have been a blog-slacker for the past few days.
Karsie is a trooper! She is up to 11mL an hour of feeds (Elecare 22cal) and will increase to 12mL at 1am. She is handling her feeds very well and moving it through! She did go about 48 hours without pooping, but then this evening she had a nice big poop! Someday Karsie will give us a hard time for broadcasting her bowel movements... but we are happy for the poops! She is also urinating a lot and getting rid of all her excess fluids from surgery.
Today she got her 4 month immunizations. She was given Tylenol in advance and was also given emla cream (numbing cream) so she didn't feel the 4 injections. She took it like a champ and didn't cry! She was a little more fussy this evening and you could tell she was sore.
She has been really alert and happy lately though! This is so fun! She likes to play with her linky toys ("Thank You Aunty Carolynn") and watch everything that is going on around her. We have to cover her eyes to get her to take a nap because there is so much to watch (she is on the monitor... don't cover a sleeping baby's face at home). She smiles all the time and really is just a fun happy girl!
That is so awesome! Praising the LORD. Was hoping that you were getting time to enjoy your daughter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a doll! I am so glad we have heard from you guys! Yea! So glad she is eating and I'm assuming not spitting up so much. She has a darling smile. Are the doctors pleased with her new advancements? I am so excited for your little girl! Looking forward to your next post.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you all. She is adorable, and I hope she gets to come home soon. I'm glad she is so happy. Prayers are coming your way as always.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little girl. Praying for a quick recovery and a hurry home.. Sally
ReplyDeleteThe time I remember to check it you're a blog slacker! J/K I'll forgive you. Karsie looks beautiful, happy and ready for a big fat turkey! (In the form of breast milk of course:) That should get her to sleep! So happy to hear that she's able to get her shots on time and with no crying! She probably thought it was a piece of cake since she's used to be poked all the time! Have a great "Needless Turkey Murder Day!!!"
ReplyDeleteSo glad she is doing so well. Hope you guys have a blessed Thanksgiving. There is so so much to be thankful for including this amazing journey your beautiful baby girl has put you on :) She is precious. we will continue to pray fro her. we love you guys!

ReplyDeleteWhat great news!! She is just a cutie pie and love her smiles!! So thankful for the poops and pees and all the "normal" stuff most of us take for granted. You will never take anything for granted with this sweet little trooper. Hope she is on her way outta that hospital and back home soon!! Keep up the great work Karsie!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that Karsie is doing well! The Lord is answering all our prayers for your little angel. I pray she will continue to gain weight and get stronger everyday. May God bless you always, Karsie.
