Good News!

Today we got good news!! Jentry has had to have her bilirubin checked almost daily for the past 2 weeks and it kept going up. Finally this weekend the Dr. called and said we need to switch to formula and see if that helps get her bili down. So I cried a bit but we made the switch to a strictly formula diet. (What a pain the butt formula is!) Anyhow, today we went to have her blood drawn and it didn't go good, she got pricked in both feet and wouldn't bleed for the lab so they sent us to the pediatric ward and the nurse there had to find a vein in Jentry's arm to get the blood, Mommy didn't like that, but she knew it had to be done. At 1:45 we went to see Dr. Miller and she gave us good news and lots of it!! First off Jentry has gained weight and finally weighs more than she did at birth, secondly her bili is down to 9 which is 4+ points less than it was on Friday, third her liver enzymes are ok, fourth her Digixon level is on target, finally we are able to breast feed some and supplement often with formula and we don't have to go back to the Dr until Jentry is 2 months old. Thank Heaven!! Our baby has been to the lab and the Dr more in her short 3 weeks of life than some go ever! I am so glad that we don't have to have her blood drawn anymore, her little feet look so painful :( Needless to say lots of prayers have been answered today and we thank God for our little miracle!
