infections, spinal fluid, brain surgery, and lasix :/

1-29-10
I got to change Elizabeths diaper for the first time today!

Riley...in the pictures you will see how her head shape changes. This is the day we found out she had spinal fluid in her brain.
They said they would have to put a resevoir in her brain to drain the fluid to her stomach :/ brain surgery on a 1 pound 12 oz baby!! her head grew from 21 cm to 22.5 cm in 2 days.

Riley's head is still growing it is 30 cm today :/
her breathing tube came out while "daddy" was in there. he got to see her without anything on her face for a brief second.

Elizabeth today weighs 1 pound 15 oz the nurse said this is BAD because it means she is retaining fluid and she will have to give her lasix to make her pee.

Elizabeth weighs 2 lbs even tonight they still hear her heart murmor

Riley weighs 1 pound 13 oz. her head is 23.5 cm today :/ and they did a CBC on her and found out she has an infection
