6 days and counting......

Sweet Kelsey is now in her sixth day of no bottles!! Last Tuesday we had a scare with NEC, which is necrotizing enterocolitis(the death of the intestine tissue), usually caused by an infection in her intestine/bowel. So, the doctors stopped her feedings and started antibiotics for 10 days. Thankfully, God continues to bless us and Kelsey did not develop the infection. However, as precaution must continue the antibiotics and no feedings until this Friday!! Poor baby!

This morning the eye doctor cleared her to go home.....if her eyes were the only issue. He said she is healing great from her surgery.

She now only has to resume her feedings and then we can go!!! But, in the mean time she has 4 more days of antibiotics through her IV and no food, she is learning to enjoy new things to pass the time. Her sweet nurses secured her a pediatric bed which is more like a baby bed (in size) and earlier today she was napping in the bouncy seat while Barney played on the tv! She weighs 7 lbs 7 oz and is a perfect baby girl.
