Ella is still 4 pounds 1 ounce but has gained 20 grams...still growing (although slowly). The tests came back about her blood sugar and it showed that her growth hormone levels were low so they started her on them today. We are hoping that this will fix the blood sugar levels and not only that, but will also help with her growth....go figure - growth hormones helping with growth(hahaha). The hormones are given as a daily shot and we will still have to give them when she gets home, but I figure after 4 months in the NICU I can do anything...even give my daughter a shot. She also got an MRI yesterday to look at her pituatary gland, and they said overall it looked great but we are still waiting for the specialist to give his analysis.
Keep praying for our big girl to get bigger, breath easier, growth hormones to work(yes!), and go home!! They are going to do some more tests on Monday just to check things out so pray for great outcomes.
