3 weeks!!!

Well can't believe my Lil L is 3weeks yesterday!!! She is amazing...we are back to resuming feeds after we stopped Sunday am when her belly became hard and she had xrays done right away to see if there was a blockage and there wasn't, but her bowl was distended and lots of air in her tummy. So they put a tube into help draw the air out. They found out that she has Staph infection and believe that was the cause of the bowel problem. So she is on her third day of antibiotics, she'll have seven days. Yesterday she started her feeds back up because her last 4 xrays came back better and better each time. So they will increase her feeds quicker than last time because she was tolerating them well til her bowel problem, so lucky it was caught way early and she's really not acting too sick. She seems to be doing really well, we have had quiet nights since Sunday early AM, momma was up from 1am til 5am with her sounding alarms and making me nervous. Then they had to run an IV, do an Xray, and draw blood so she was wiped and let momma sleep that morning!
Now I know why everyone says you have good and bad days, but more good than bad. Just seems sometimes we get a few steps forward and take three steps back, as Robert would like to add to that comment "She just likes to dance". I don't know what I would do without him sometimes, he has tried to keep me positive and tries to make very bad into something good no matter what.
Well that's about it for the day, she's just kinda hanging out right now...Hoping for some holding time soon!!!
Thanks everyone for all the prayers!!!
