Alright so here we go. Zoey is still on a holding pattern. Belly is more distended, levels are all artificially being kept acceptable by drugs, machines, & a lot of help from the nurses & doctors. Not sure if it's full blown NEC or an abscess or blockage, however it's some version of NEC & complications from it. Head Natal Doc discussed with us this afternoon that she was in a status of 3 different outcomes. 1, she gets better by herself, not likely per the doctor. 2, she needs emergency surgery by a perforation or xrays get worse, which for all intents & purposes, are, as gas is not moving to her lower bowels so it's not coming out, and she's no longer stooling on top of that. 3, we go into surgery Friday, which is the most likely scenario. So we just wait, we see what happens, & we hope for the best. While tough we have some awesome nurses that are keeping things as loose as possible & providing quite a bit of levity. Sally & I need to get out of the NICU as our, specifically mine, stress level is elevated. On a lighter note, Zoey is 3 weeks old today, good job little peanut, you keep plugging on.
