So after waiting all morning long and finally giving in and putting Eli down for a nap and several calls to the nurse later. I get a return call from the nurse that she just talked to the Dr taking care of Willa and they have decided not to release her today.
The nurse had told me this morning that her biliruben levels had gone back up to 13. Said its not to bad for a 9day old and she didn't think it would matter on her going home. Early this afternoon when I called she also told me that Willa had decreased how much she was eating back down to the bare minimum and with her biliruben levels and decreased eating they wanted to watch her a couple more days just to be safe. She did say that they are still planning on releasing her this weekend at some point so I am very hopeful. Casey on the other hand says he doesn't think she will be coming home till middle of next week sometimes. Just a "feeling" he has, I hope he's not right.
I did call around 5pm to check on how much she had eaten and to plan my next trip to feed. She had been fed at 3pm and took 51cc's (which is what they want her to take if she goes 4hrs and it had only been 3). That was at 3, when I called at 5 she said that Willa had just woken up and was wanting to eat again so they are not going to tell her no. Said they would go ahead and feed her again and for me to plan on being there around 8 or 8:30 as she figured thats when she'd eat again. Its good news that she was so hungry, maybe she is going back to eating well. I'm wondering if the Hep B shot they had given her late last night (about when the feeding decrease began) made her not feel good for awhile and now she is back to eating. I know Eli normally is a little tired and groggy after shots so maybe thats what it was with her. Regardless I am praying for her to come home this weekend.
