The first baby steps

We got word from the doctor tonight that they are going to start giving Ellie breast milk in addition to her IV solution to see how her gut handles a tiny amount of food. She is going to begin tonight with only 2 cc's per hour which amounts to a very, very slow drip, but it is a start on the path to food and we will see how she does with this.

I took her on a field trip today to the radiology department to get new x-rays taken. With the gear in her room operating on batteries we can unplug her and walk around so that is good news, too. We see kids on this floor walking laps each day and a stroller would be good fun for her as well as her mom and I.

So you're probably now overrun with stroller offers, BUT if you are looking for one, like I said in my email, the S&B gals'll make it happen.
