Day 19: No News is Good News
January 31, 2010
We apologize for not updating our blog for awhile. It is just because Malena is just working on eating. Not much has changed. She progressed so quickly with her surgery and her breathing that we thought she would just pick up eating really quickly but Malena has other plans. She has just been really sleepy over the past week and a half. Just over the past few days she is more awake during the day. She can’t come home until she eats consistently and gains weight. She gets a bit better at eating more everyday but she is only eating and ounce on her own when she should be eating two ounces.
It is normal for CDH babies to struggle with eating. It will just take time. My guess would be maybe two more weeks or so until she can come home.
So we didn’t mean to worry any of you by not posting. There just isn’t much to report. We will do better at posting. Thank you all for your continued prayers, phone calls, texts, cards!

I was wondering what what going on, she looks like she’s growing and is just beautiful, and looks so much like her big sister, She is in our prayers and will pick it up soon, i mean who doesnt LOVE to eat?
