Eliana will be four weeks old on March 29th . She weighed 1&1/2 lbs when she was born , she now weighs 1lb.11oz . She has her ups and downs .One of the most serious was a tear in her intestines discovered when she was about a week old . It was surgically fixed , but during the time of healing , she could only be fed intravenously. Nothing could go through her intestines, so that hampered her weight gain . Last week they allowed her to begin eating through her feeding tube once again . She gets blood transfusions frequently . That seems to be the norm with micro -preemies . Her major problem right now is respiratory . They have to keep switching her between different types of ventilators. The goal right now is to just have a breathing tube right below her nose that has forced air in it . Please continue to pray for her , my daughter& family .I am linking to Spiritual Sundays.
Love & Blessings,

ReplyDeleteNeo-natal surgery is so amazing. Praise God for the surgeons, doctors,nurses and technology are caring for Eilana. Thank you for giving us an update. We will continue to lift Eilana, her parents and entire circle of family and friends in our prayers.

Lifting her in prayer.I notice you are in N.C. Is she at Chapel Hill? My nephew was a preemie there and he received excellent care. He just turned twelve.

Still praying for precious little Eliana ~
ReplyDeleteSuch a little miracle. I will keep her on my prayer list. Are you familiar with the Duggar family? (they have 19 kids). Their latest was a micro-preemie and has had many of the same issues as little Eliana. She just turned one and is doing so well, just a little behind physically. They have been such an example of faith in God for their veiwing audience.
