Good Evening Followers, all 2 of you! I know many more people read but do not "follow". To explain the last couple days with Juliet being in the hospital, to start, everything is fine for now.
Luis was feeding her on Tuesday night (11/17/09) when she choked on her formula and vomited, spewing formula all over Luis, threw her nose and such. It had appeared as though she couldnt breathe and her lips turned blue, we were able to suck the formula out of her nose and her breathing resumed, yet it was bery labored. We rushed her to the ER. The doc's were able to get a chest x-ray which showed that she had asperated formula in to her lungs, they took a blood sample which came back with a low platelet level, they tried to get more blood and start an IV but failed 5 TIMES! Poor Juliet! The doctors decided to admit us. Juliet was admitted, during her first feeding she continued to have trouble digesting her formula. She vomited 3 times during her 2 nights at the hospital. Finally the specialist was able to get another blood sample and this time it came back normal. Her platelet level was normal, red and white blood cells are normal, whew! She has a little bit of wheezing from the asperation, but the docs said that it would go away by itself. We get discharged from the hospital on Thursday, and she hasnt vomited since! We dont know what was wrong with her, the doctors seem to think she has acid reflux and put her on zantac to combat the problem, but they arent sure either!
Now, Hailey. She had her 6 week appointment on Thursday. She is 7.13 lbs and 19.5 inches! She is growing SUPER FAST!! We love them both, they are wonderful little babies! They follow their schedule everyday, which keeps it easier for me!
Luis goes back to work on Monday, this is when the real test starts! I think its possible!! I can do it...then again...I dont have a choice!! LOL. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts while we were in the hospital! More later, its the babies first Thanksgiving, expect more pix!!
