Prayers are needed for Baby Eli

[Katiean]

I was told by Tina that they were going to remove the chest tube today. I don't know if it got done or not. I do know he isn't any worse because they would have told us that. They had to make Dad go and rest. He hadn't left Eli since they got there. They are making Tina go and rest a lot. They told her if she runs into any problems because she won't rest they will admit her and she won't get to see the baby. A good way to make her take care of herself too. I will post again if anything goes wrong or they go home. Thank You all for your prayers and thoughts.

All of the stress and worry about Eli's condition is sure to take it's toll on the new mama. I agree that she needs her rest, rest, rest!

How is Eli and family today?

They are working toward a Monday release date. They want him nursing a couple of days with out an ng tube to top him off. He had lost weight from 5lb 4 oz down to just over 4lbs. He is now 5lb 1oz. We are so thankful that he is doing this well. However, my sister and I are not talking now and it goes a bit deeper than just what happened with Eli. I guess our conversations just got a bit more involved than "hi, how ya doing".

I am so glad that Eli is doing better. Prayers for him and his parents. Will be looking for more good updates and hopefully hearing soon he will get to go home. I hope you can patch things up with your sister too.

I thought I would let everyone know that Eli is home in Alaska, In his own little nursery. He still has the NG tube because he isn't eating enough. He had lost down to 4lbs 1 oz. Last I talked to Tina she said he was back up to 5lbs 4oz but hadn't gained any more. But he is home and doing much better.
