1/24/2010 Delay

January 24, 2010 by Jason.

We are going to be delayed into next week. Juliana showed some blood in her stool the last few days, so they have run some tests and given her some x-rays. Some of her bowel is dilated and thickened, which shows inflammation. They have stopped her feeds as of this morning and will give it some time to rest. The leading candidate of diagnosis is that she may have an allergy to the additive they put in the breast milk to make it more calorie rich. They will keep monitoring her and will repeat the x-ray tomorrow. Tonight she will get hooked up to TPN and lipids to keep her nutrition steady. She has gained some weight since our last update: 4lbs 4.5 oz. I spent the whole day with Juliana as Jen worked on the nursery at home. Jen will head back to Baltimore in the morning.
