KC's New Baby Abigail News - Updated
 

Tonight at 7:38 she came out. Here's a pic. I'm off to bed & will return later.

Edit/Update - Due to her lack of holding food down (any brand/type) she has now been put in ICU with a feeding tube. She has also pasted 24 hrs. without a #2 movement. Any prayers given would be greatful as we are not sure what is causing these problems and what they might find.

A beautiful baby girl KC! Congratulations! It seems as though it was yesterday when you announced that you were expecting another family member. How fast time flies! :)

Hope she gets better. My prayers are with you, her and the rest of the family.

Home to let the dog out again. My wife gets discharged today but we are renting a room from the hospital for my wife to stay in while our daughter Abigail is there. They are going to run test around noon. Seen an x-ray and her intestions are swollen, test should help give a clue why. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers everyone. Here's a recent picture to put with the prayer.

Congrats for sure KC
I think that prayers from everyone is a given
Best of luck

My prayers are with you and the family, KC. Medical science is great, I'm sure little Abigail will soon be home keeping you awake all night!

sorry to hear about daughter my prays got out to your family




god bless

Home again to let the dog out.

@darklord - Yes we tried them all.

She is now on antibiotics due to the inlarged size of her intestions as seen on the x-ray. The doctors say they don't really know what caused it, but they said she will remain in the ICU for a week.

As for my wife. The guest housing looked so bad she was too scared to stay there and said she would rather come home at night with me and return in the mornings to sit by Abigail.

Hey,

Man that sucks. Hope she gets well soon and God Bless!!!

Take,
Will

Congratulations! and wish you all the best, KC. :)

My prayers are with you.

McoreD

Hang in there KC....times like this are what really make us strong. It sometimes don't seem fair but there is someone with higher powers incharge and my prayers are also with you and the better half.

Thanks

Best wishes and prayers to to you and your family KC ,
I hope all goes well , my son had these symptoms when he was a baby ,
It turned out to be a hernia , and a small op fixed it, ICU is the best place.

KC we are praying for you here man, if you need anything let me know

pctech25@gmail.com

@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.

These are familly orientated forums KC, If it helps you to cope during this trying period then post all you need to, we are all touched by the plight of your baby- just look at the replies you have had. The pictures may be heart rending but they remind us that behind every nick is a real person with real problems and needs, they help us put the binary world into perspective. You have my continued support and well wishes, i hope she gets better soon so you can take her home and begin the process of nurturing her.

Like SlickVic78 and Dog said, That's what we're here for... to help in any small way that we can. I keep check on this thread almost constantly and continue to pray and have faith that the good Lord is going to step in, cure all of Abigail's problems and let you take your little girl home.
