Tummy Troubles

Well it has been a long past couple of days! Thursday wehad some phone problems since Matt was out of cell service and I left my phone in the truck while seeing baby Maddox and Shanna. After we got back into the truck I had missed about 20 phone calls, needless to say my phone is glued to my hip now, and I hate every time it rings.

Anyways the doctor was trying to get ahold of us, to tell us that Chesney had something wrong with her digestive system, they think an infection. Something showed up on the x-ray but they didn't really know what it was. So they had to get and IV started and since she has horrible veins they had to have our permission to do a pick line. It is basically and IV that goes in the fold of her arm up her shoulder and around into her chest cavity by her heart. They wanted to do it that way because it would have better chances of staying longer and since she will not be eating for ten days they need a good IV. She looked horrible she was so pale and nothing bugged her and that is not like her. She gets mad just when you open the door to her isolette. But after a couple doses of antibiotics and some rest she looked a whole lot better the next day. She was awake most of the time we were there friday evening it was so hard for her to just stare at us and not be able to hold her.

Today her jaundice is back up and they have put her under the lights again. They said she is having a hard time kicking it because she is not pooping because she is not eating and that is how they get over the jaundice. So hopefully the lights will get it back down!! The doctor said there is still something on the x-ray so they are gonna continue to do morning x-rays. The antibiotics she is on is a 7 day course and we are on day 3 and so far so good. Hope they caught it early enough. I pray they can get it figured out so she can start eating. Good news is she has been off oxygen for 3 days and is doing really good. We left her about noon to come home, it is hard to leave.

We are going back in the morning to see our little princess and I promise to take pics. We were in such a rush thursday that I didn't grab the camera. I can't believe how much she changes every day!
