Eli was much better today. Though he did have a few desats while we were there, it was nothing like yesterday. We spoke with his doctor, Dr. Paley, who very kindly gave us 30 minutes of his time. He showed us an X-ray and pointed out that Eli had some fluid in his lungs. Dr. Paley said that he had started Eli on a diuretic to help clear that up. He also noted that Eli had his fourth, and final, head ultrasound today which he passed with flying colors.We also asked Dr. Paley when we might be allowed to hold Eli. This being three weeks to the day since his birth, it is getting tedious to only be able to touch him through the isolette portholes. Dr. Paley said he would speak with the charge nurse so we are very hopeful that soon it will come to pass. :-)

Gotta love those perfect head ultrasounds, though that's not surprising. Given his gene pool, there's no doubt that little Eli will be what we affectionately call in my family "a fucking genius."
thanks for the updates & pics.

Just how amazing is THIS?!!! Being able to peek over your shoulders and see Himself in Person! Terrific. Thank you for allowing us to share Eli's Great Adventure with you. Know it's tough on you both, but you are exemplary. Really appreciate reading your account of the ups and downs. We are all there for all three of you.
Love,
Paulann
PS I just got the blog site from Abi.
