We are not sure if Amelia's gut is not awake yet or if we were forcing too much food into her, but Amelia threw up last night after we starting the feeding and again today after they restated feeding. So we are a little frustrated, especially because she was a GREAT eater before we checked in. It will be time and work to get her back to her diet.
Amelia did have a date with the surgeon this morning to look at her wound. The surgeon was very happy with how she is progressing. There have even been rumors of home floating around the floor, though no specific dates mentioned yet.
This evening Amelia walked around the unit, completing 3 laps, more than half of which she did on her own without holding our hands. She did very well. We were very proud of how well she was walking.
Also, the blood clots in her leg and arm have disappeared...as in totally gone. This is awesome news because the medicine she would have had to take would have been administered in the form of a shot twice a day!!! So, it was great news to hear she would not need them.
Our prayer continues to be for nutrition this evening. We need her to not only start to eat more on her own, but to also keep the food down she is getting.
O...I forgot to mention that her platelets have been in the upper 90s the last few days. However, her red blood counts are a little low right now.

So glad about the clots. Your love for your baby is truly being acted out. I can just picture how patient you have to be to encourage her to walk, walk, walk... The Lord sees you! xoxoxoxo
