I have been put on a predigested formula, Nutramigen, to hopefully try and help me gain weight. I get to breast feed a few times a day in between feedings to give me some extra calories. Mom was sad we had to try this, but it was better than putting me on TPN. TPN would be a quick fix and it only has negative effects on my liver. My bilirubin is 4.4, the highest it has been. The doctors want to get my stool, feedings, and bicarb normal before they start treating my bili. I am still having some loose liquid stools and now that I am getting this formula I have vomited three times. I don't burp as well now that I have started this formula. The doctors are doing an ultrasound tomorrow on my stomach to rule out vomiting caused from Pyloric Stenosis. This is the enlargement of the valve connecting the stomach and small intestine. Mom and Dad hope this is not the case because I would need another surgery. I will be 11 weeks old tomorrow.

I ran in to Bamma and she told me they were springing you from the hospital; and were heartbroken to read that you are going through all this stuff, bummer little bugger. We are all praying for you to stay strong and will be home with your Mom and Dad real soon. Hugs to your Mom and Dad.
