Well... we almost lost her, or at least we could have. She had to go through 3 hours of bowel surgery when she was only 8 hrs old.

Last night was the worst night...alot of stress, fear, crying, hysteria.

Got to the hospital and was 20 mins late. We didn't get to see her...I still haven't seen my niece yet.

She made it through her bowels had to be cut etc, part of her bowel as of right now is hanging outside the body to drain stuff.

Once she is recovered from that she needs to go for more surgery to re-attach the bowels, check for scar tissue and see if there is any blockage.

She also has alot of brusing on her little belly, and some jaundace.

She came out at a decent weight for a premie, 4 1/2 lbs. But she's lost weight since she's been sick, poor thing has tubes galore... She's the only premie in the nursery that is covered in them. I hope I get to meet her soon.

Little Kayla isn't out of the woods yet...
