Talked to the doctor a few minutes ago, and they are not seeing any signs of NEC yet. There is still some air in the intestines, but it is moving along, and hopefully, that's all it is. They're stopping the milk feeds for a couple days to give Hannah a few days of "bowel rest". They'll also be checking X-rays every couple hours to check progress. The doctor says that NEC usually causes babies to appear and act sick, and increases acid levels in the blood, but Hannah is showing no outward signs of discomfort or sickness, and her blood tests look great. With luck, this is nothing more than the preemie equivalent of overindulgence at Taco Bell.

Comments will be added to the blog as soon as we see them. This delay is needed to keep spammers from using Hannah's blog to advertise junk and spread viruses. -- Karl
