Tuesday bad, Thursday good

We get most of our bad news on Tuesdays. I think that this is because shift change happens on Monday, everyone sees our little girl for the first time and freaks out at her numbers. By Thursday however, those doctors have done tests and can see improvements from the previous week. Well, knowing is half the battle.

Lets take today for instance. Shortening fraction up from 12.5% to 17%! Ejection fraction up from 30% to 40%!

More good news. Video is working!

Ellie with the hiccups is the first video to be uploaded. But you might try searching to find more as they come available. I'm also back-filling some videos as well.

Feedings are still a big, big issue. They are trying different things to see what they can get down her. Right now they have started giving her feedings every 6 hours. So we'll see how that goes.
