Update on Eliana

I would first like to thank everyone for their concern and for all the prayers for Eliana . Thank you all so very much !The pic below was taken about a week ago , Angel's hand comparison showed how tiny she is . We have more recent video ,it was uploaded to Facebook,not Youtube so I don't how how to repost it .



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,

  6. 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.

  8. Such 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.
