Renal ultra sound and other were normal.

She began to put out large diapers, along with the swelling going down considerably.  She looks so much more like herself.

Only problem is that every time she feeds (breast milk or pedialyte) she throws up.  She's been doing this since Sunday evening.  She was sick earlier for few days due to shunt, but this time her shunt has been working great.

Even though she is getting sick rather often, they transferred her to another floor cause she is no longer considered to be in critical condition, which I agree.

They completed an x-ray today and found that she has an ileus, where her bowels are not wanting to move along.  They believe it to be related to going to surgery.  Guess this happens.

Only problem is that for her current condition the only thing you can do is wait.  The bowels may start moving in a day or 12????  Who knows.  I am encouraged to try to keep feeding her small small bits of food so that it will signal her bowels to move.

I'll keep you posted.
