Ella has been doing well on the cornstarch, with only a couple of low sugar levels. They have removed the dextrose from her IV fluids and we are praying that her levels stay stable over the weekend. If all goes well, they will remove the broviac next week and the rest is history...at least our time in San Antonio will be history...YIPEE!!
Pray for Ella's tummy, because the extra calories and cornstarch make it upset at times and she doesn't sleep very well. Her upset stomach is another example of how the NICU is a double edged sword...she needs the cornstarch to regulate her blood sugar, but the extra calories in the milk make her stomach upset. Our big girl is now at the point where she wants to be entertained and isn't happy just lying in her bed. I know that she will thrive when she gets home and gets on her own schedule and has a whole house at her disposal instead of just a bed.
