Preliminary test results are negative for NEC, however the doctors are still taking every precaution necessary with Maggie. She has been recieving antibiotics this weekend and is back on TPN and lipids for nutrition. She is back in the isolette, too, since her temperature has been on the cool side since she moved to a crib last week.
Today, Maggie is doing great. Her tummy x-rays look good, her bowel sounds are normal and her abdomen is soft. Tomorrow, they will slowly resume her feeds and will come off the IV nutrition fully in a few days.
This is all good news to us. We are so happy the doctors and nurses are on top of everything with Maggie. Everyone seems optimistic that her final blood tests will come back negative for NEC.
Maggie's weight continues to climb, today she is 4lbs 4oz.
I'll be heading to the hospital in an hour to kangaroo with Maggie and look forward to tomorrow when her feeds resume.
