Update 5

<p>Where o where do I begin?</p>
<p>Lu's IV blew yesterday late afternoon. Disaster ensued. My baby is petrified of needles and is a hard stick to boot. A couple hours later and tries by three separate teams, my baby was a devastated sweaty mess. If this one goes before we can get her feed rate up she will need a PIC line because there isn't a salvageable vein on her.</p>
<p>This morning was more bile and still no stool. So, off to x-ray we wnt to look for a blockage. No idea what it showed since I haven't heard.</p>
<p>We upped her feed rate to 25 ccs an hour, but we are now diluting it down. Which means we aren't making much progress.</p>
<p>Lu was in good spirits today though. The clowns returned for a visit and she even giggled! We also got to take a special trip upstairs to the indoor gym where we played a 3 foot game of connect 4 and bowled.

Lucy's been pretty limited in energy today. She slept late, then laid around a bit. Its now after 5:30 and shes been sleeping since 2:30. I tried to wake her but she refused.

So we wait...
