The doctors do not want to send me home because my stools are loose and basically absorbing into my diaper and I am not gaining weight. My bicarb levels came back at 14 which is low. The doctors are concerned with dehydration. We have stopped the enzymes and I am just eating breast milk. The doctors have lowered my food intake a bit because there could be a concern that I am "dumping". I will be closely monitored the next few days and if my stools do not change and I do not gain we will have to look at other ways of adding calories. My mom told the doctors she does not want me back on TPN and that is the last option.

Good Morning Beautiful Benjamin,
Hang in there honey. We love you bunches - so many people love you and are praying for you. God Bless our baby. Grandma Carol and Papa Phil X0XX0X0X0
Ben -
Sorry you can't go home. Keep hanging in there though lil guy and hopefully you'll go home real soon. It's supposed to rain all weekend anyway, which wouldn't have been any good for a stroller ride (well, at least not for your mom and dad, you'd at least have a cover over you keeping you dry...tee hee hee).
Lots of Love!
Meghan
Sorry little guy that you can't go home yet, but hopefully soon. I know mommy and daddy can't wait for you to be at home with them. Aunt Jane can't wait to come see you again. I love you, and your mommy and daddy. XOXO
Ben,
You're doing great - no need to rush things. Just hang in there and tough it out for a little bit longer, and let the doctors do their thing and find you a new calorie absorber.
I have to tell you, you're pretty darn cute in that picture looking at the camera through the mirror. I have it on my desktop and it's like you're looking at me. It makes me smile. My co-workers, however, think I'm crazy because I always talk to your picture, too!
For the record, I'm only a little bit crazy!
Love you oodles and gobs and tons! See you tomorrow afternoon!
xoxoxo, Aunt Carin
Hey Ben,

Uncle Norman

HI Ben! You are so cute little guy. Hang in there. You are in a good place right now. We are thinking about you and your mom and dad. Thanks for updating everyone. I love to read that you are making big steps in a positive direction. Love, Stephanie Schultz
