Ellie-care

So far the experiment with elemental formula seems to not be the magic answer for her digestive needs it hasn't been all bad either.

Since Thursday her feeding has progressed to 9 ml per hour. She is quite gassy(what else is new?) and she seems to be very full a lot of the time, although her residual stomach volume is not as high as it has been. She is pooping more frequently and they have good quality to them, but have a really nasty smell to them. Since they are formula poops I guess that is to be expected.

We'll see how she deals with any more increases in feeding over the next few days, but it hasn't been magic.

We'll see how it goes.

Ellie jst keeps on being a great, happy baby.

Bilirubin was low again today. Less than .5 on both. Yellow looks better when she is pale and not so yellow.
