Dear family and friends,
We wanted to briefly update you on the day's events.
Eliza spent approximately 7 hours at the hospital with
very little to show for it. The x-ray showed a minor
irregularity in the exit muscle of the stomach and the
pathway leading from the exit to the small intestine.
This means her stomach empties very slowly, which most
likely contributes to her vomiting and reflux. There
is not, however, any immediate fix for this. As of
now, we are feeding her small amounts continuously (24
hrs/day) to keep from over-filling her stomach. If
that doesn't work, we may try a non-milk formula to
see if a milk allergy may be a factor.
Eliza remains somewhat uncomfortable, but she has not
vomited since we started the continuous feeds at 5pm.
We'll keep you posted.
We are exhausted. We have been surrounded by so much
love that limitless energy would not suffice to
express our gratitude. Thank you. Reminds me of
"were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a
present far too small. Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all." May it be so.
Love,
dixie jax
