New Year 2006

Cody and Kerri celebrated New Years in the NICU holding Ansel. The nurses provided sparkling punch to all present that watched the clock roll to 2006. Sunday, the Millers - Bill, Joyce, & Eden spent the day.

Ansel weighs in at two pounds seven ounces, gaining nicely. His feedings have increased to 7.5 CCs per hour of formula. The PICC line was recently removed due to clotting, but since he has achieved full feedings, it isn't necessary to replace the PICC. The preemie tests continue to look good - heart okay, brain okay etc.

Kerri continues to have dialysis three times a week. Wet compresses are put on her tummy to aid the healing of her incision. Doctors plan to use a vacuum device to clean the wound later this week. Eating continues to be a problem, as Kerri can't hold much down. Cody went home to devil some eggs, an attempt to find something Kerri can hold on to. Success! Kerri ate a half egg, with some soy milk, and it stayed. Always cheerful, Kerri's good attitude continues despite the challenges.

Kerri and Cody thank everyone for your visits, comments, notes, and calls.
