@Raid762 - I googled some information on the hernia topic you mentioned. The information I found says a hernia in newborns are somewhat common and considering the size of her intestions due to the blockage, this is surly a topic I will ask the Dr. to make sure it's been ruled out. Thanks!

My wife and I are off to the hospital. I'll pass along any updates I find out when I return later today to let the dog out. Thanks again everyone for you support & prayers.

As a side note, there is a little boy next to Abigail in ICU named Trenton. He is just 1lb. and makes our daughter Abigail look like a fat healthy pig. Please pray for him as well.

Congratulations!

Hope she is home soon :)

I'm sorry for that.. my prayers goes to your baby and your family..

As of the end of last night they had a test for cystic fibrosis scheduled. The Dr. also mentioned maybe doing a biopsy for Hirschsprung's Disease.

If you need anything KC just let us know.

It's breaking my heart to see her in the pic above :(

All the best. Stay positive. :)

Congradulations on your family expanion!

/me attempting to think of something profound to write...

Now your bio-family hugs will be even bigger and longer lasting. :group::group:

[edit] the smiliy only has "smilies in groups of four *sigh* but more the merry :):).

I hope I'm not boring anyone here, it helps me to talk about it. I will try to keep it updated with everything I find out.

Today the did the test for cystic fibrosis and the results should be back in about 3 days. They took her regular IV out and replaced that with a PIC line(Percutaneous Intravenous Catheter) because they plan on keeping her for awhile. She has recently turned jaundice so she under the UV light. Her x-ray today of her intestions was a little better than the previous day, but still not good enough to try starting to feed her. Another x-ray is scheduled for Tuesday morning. No word yet if they decided to do the biopsy for Hirschsprung's Disease.

Hey KC,

Please don't ever think you are boring us here. I can only imagine what you are going through. If this is helping you, than by all means, continue doing it. All of us here are concerned and would like to continue receiving reports as to how your child is doing. Isn't this what friend's are for?

Hang in there my friend.
