The special cleaning machine attached to Kerri is working well. The debris from her incision is being vacuumed up. The incision is pinking up, healing better.
There is now talk of a release date for Kerri - Monday Jan 16th. This date is based on 10 more days of use with the cleaning machine.
Kerri has been able to increase her food intake slightly each day, mostly based on dry cereals. Dialysis continues three times a week. Doctors ultrasounded her liver today, still checking things out.
Ansel has graduated to a larger diaper. At 2lbs 12ozs he is still little, but the loads have increased. Feedings are not continuous any more, but are now given at three hour intervals. Cody says he is the cutest baby in the NICU. We don't disagree. Window watcher notice: Ansel moved to a different room - ask for directions to the new window, or just look for fresh nose prints. Kerri and Cody hold Ansel once a day and change his diaper.
The Millers plan to visit from Springfield on Sunday.
Mom and Baby continue to make progress each day. Thanks for all the prayers.
