For those who were concerned about my baby niece Shaelynn

[singedwingangel]

As many of you know Shaelynn has been hospitalized 2x for failure to thrive. Everything they fed her came back up. They thought at first she has severe acid reflux, got her to keep down about 1 of 2 oz fed to her every 2 hours and sent her on her merry way. By a week later sh had lost to 6 lbs 2 oz, she weighed 6 11 at birth. They put her back in the hospital and re looked at her tests they had done her previous visit. Although there was no pyloric trouble with it staying closed it was spasming on top of her having acid reflux. So now the muscle was causing the trouble. So more IV's more meds. They are telling us she will outgrow both in time. She was there until last Wednesday, this time they kept her for 3 days after removing the IVs instead of sending her home so quick. She is taking about 2 -2 1/2 oz every 2 hours and keepig it all down praise God. She had regained back to 7 2 before leaving the hospital. We have nicknamed her turtle cause she has this habit of stretching out her neck and bobbing her head like a turtle would, then pulling it back down on her shoulders and bobbing some more lol. Here are the pics I took last night when Mom had her and her big sister over here for a visit.
