Keep Up the Prayers for Abbie!

Tonya's Update....
Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Abbie had another good day today! We spoke to Dr. Whittington this morning& he was very pleased with her progress. Her platelet count was at theirhighest today at 119. He wanted to transition her from the isolation box toan open crib & they were able to do that at lunchtime because she had beenmaintaining good body temperature. He said that if she continued tomaintain her body temperature, kept her platelet count up, ate well & gainedweight that she could probably be home by weekend. So far today she haskept all of her feedings down. Dr. Whittington did say that her feedingshad been better since starting her back on the bottle this last time & thathe was not totally sure if it did it on its own or if the azithromycin madethat much of a difference. But since the medicine won’t hurt her, he isleaving her on it for a little while longer. Abbie did actually lose moreweight again today & now weighs 4 pounds 4.8 ounces.
