6-12 Seven Days.......

and still no Isabella. For some reason her billy count is not staying consistently low. It fluxs as much as rising to 15 points and then back down to 11 or twelve.

They just put her under a third light hoping that this might be what she needs to push it out of her blood stream.

We are trying to stay upbeat and not let this ware us down but it has been hard. I don't think it helps that the hospital is over 45 minutes away. Damien rushes home just in time to shower and rush out of the house with out eating. We are lucky to be back in town at a reasonable hour.

On the positive side she is eating great and we have only had to switch the formula once so far to ProSobee. All of my kids have been so sensitive to milk and formula so this is something we are keeping a close eye on as well.
Saying goodbye and having to leave her has been extremely hard on us but as of last night her color is really looking great and we are staying hope full that she could come home this weekend !

  2. Oh Norma - I am soooo sorry!!! This will be one of those things you look back on in a few years when she is healthy as a horse and you say "remember when she was born and had to stay in the hospital...". I can't imagine how hard it is for you to have her there - I just wish you the best of wishes and that she is home ASAP!

  5. She is beautiful! I know how difficult it is to leave the hospital without your baby! With three boys at home already, I only make it over to visit my little guy once a day, even though the hosp is only about 25 min away!

    Keep the faith that her billi levels will go down. My little guy is being pricked every day for his levels because of jaundice. A nurse told me today that every day in age changes what is "acceptable" so as long as she doesn't go higher than she is now, every day will be an improvement!

  7. Awww Norma, I'm so sorry. I know firsthand how hard this is. After my twins were born and I was released from the hospital, my first night at home I was totally alone with the twins in 2 separate hospitals, my oldest was with a friend and DH was at the hospital with one of the boys. That night I cried myself to sleep. Hang in there....it will get better. Saying a prayer that she comes home soon.
