Day Nineteen.

We met with Elliot's doctor today. Elliot is now getting daily suppositories in an attempt to stimulate his bowel and get him to have regular bowel movements. If it doesn't work, we're going to have to look into the possibility of doing some imaging to make sure everything is okay internally.
Once he starts going to the bathroom regularly, we will start feeding- and he said to be prepared for feeding problems, since most gastroschisis babies have digestion issues. As of right now, he has no idea what kind of timeframe we're looking at for his NICU stay- it could be only a few more weeks, could be months.
Elliot's repogle has been leaking up a storm, so they decided to go through his nose instead of his throat. He seems a little happier this way! Hopefully we'll be able to get rid of the tube altogether soon. Having it in his nose makes him snort in the cutest way, though.


Zonked in his bouncy seat today, with his new nasal repogle.


And because I forgot to post it yesterday... Mommy & Elliot snuggling. :)



We're #27 now :) !!
