We talked to the Dr. today, and they are becoming more and more skeptical that Ashlyn had gestational diabeties, and that Maddy's blood sugar problems are related to that. They are awaiting the results of blood work that was taken from Maddy when she was admitted into the NICU, and we should have more information tonight. They are also planning to do additional blood work to test for other conditions that Maddy may have.
Maddy's blood sugar levels have been better today, and currently her drip is at 3ML/hr. She is on 12% glucose, and they want to reduce the level in her IV to 10%. The Dr's also want to start supplementing with formula to make sure that Maddy is getting extra calories. At this point, nothing seems certain, but we are comforted by the fact that Maddy seems alert when we go to visit, and she still enjoys eating. Onc we hear more from the Dr's, we will add another post.
