I haven't been posting her weights because I didn't think they were very accurate at this point.  She was 5 lbs 1 oz before surgery and 5 lbs 12 oz the day after.  Can we say "fluid retention"?  However, it's been a week now.  She dropped down to 5 lbs 10 oz at one point but she is back up to 5 lbs 13 oz now.  So I'm not sure she's going to go down very much.  I just may have a 6 pounder on my hands before long.  How huge is that?!
I am waiting to hear when they will re-introduce her feeds.  She's had a couple of small poos, so things are starting to work.  She is certainly willing to try eating again.  Please pray that this goes well.  We'll keep you posted.
I am so glad to hear that Hope is gaining weight and that her system is starting to work again. I'm just sorry that I wasn't able to see her yesterday. I hope you are feeling better.
