No Blood

Woo hoo...what a praise report...no blood in the stools for five days now. We are thrilled, but still nervous and waiting for blood to appear.

McKenna goes in tomorrow for a weight check. She has been doing great on feedings, hitting almost two ounces every three hours with an occasional two and a half ounces. She also had her intake increased to 24 calories (normal is 20 cal, she was at 22 cal). Hope all this helps her gain the necessary weight.

She had a heart drop during her feedings yesterday. She still has a few a day during feedings, but yesterdays was so low the monitor went off. Made us thankful we still had the monitor on her. I think the drop was due to her being so tired and not having the energy to eat.

McKenna is also having blood work done tomorrow to make sure her blood levels aren't still dropping and to verify another transfusion is not needed at this time. Keep prayers coming. We REALLY APPRECIATE THEM ALL!!!
