So Lucky to Have You

An update from Mom:

Eleanor has been much the same and yet totally different. 

Little miss is now FOUR POUNDS FOUR OUNCES! That’s huge! She still hasn’t mastered the whole “humans have to breathe to stay alive” thing, but she’s trying. 

She also has a beautiful RAM Cannula helping her breathe instead of the awful CPAP mask. This has made her face and hair visible and she is so much happier! It’s a lot harder for her to breathe with this, so all of her backup settings have increased, but that’s alright! 

Today, she puked for the first time in her entire almost 8 weeks on this earth. She was not at all phased and didn’t really give two shits! We assume it was induced by her pacifier. And speaking of shits! She pooped and puked simultaneously, and we think she felt the epitome of relief. It was slightly hilarious. 

Afterwards, she was quite awake, and Mom and Dad had a good ol' time entertaining her and trying to get her to fall back asleep. We failed real hard, but it was fun! She didn’t get the sleepiest until we flipped her back to her tummy. She got so cozy, she once more forgot about the breathing business. 

Mom has to go back to work on Tuesday and is extremely saddened, but knows it’ll be the best to have more time when Eleanor gets to come home.


Eleanor's real footprints!

    Seriously, for about 2 months now, I wake to thoughts of Eleanor, and fall to sleep loving her.

Hi friends and family of Kim, Alex, and baby Eleanor Sutara, After talking with Kim and Alex, it seemed easiest to send updates to everyone through a blog post. We are grateful and appreciative of everyone's concern, support, and well wishes as Eleanor begins her long journey in Akron Children's. Eleanor is a PPROM baby, meaning that Kim experienced a preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM), showing little to no amniotic fluid in utero, and was subsequently hospitalized long-term for monitoring at 24 weeks following a large bleeding episode, with the hopes that the baby would be able to hang in to 34 weeks. I will let Kim elaborate if she wants on the pre-birth details, but for now I'm just slapping some hard and fast details together from what I can immediately recall. Heart monitoring of the baby beginning on Saturday, 19 January revealed some variability, and Kim was taken to the labor and delivery ward as a precaution. By Tuesday morning, Kim's doct...

The Little Peanut That Could

Eleanor has been growing like a weed! Using little to no energy to eat allows for all those calories to be stored, aside from the hundreds she burns kicking all day long.  Eleanor had a swallow study this week where it was determined she needed thicker milk. There are no thickeners for breast milk that are NICU approved so she, reluctantly, is now trying out formula. She gets to attempt one ounce via a bottle and the remainder through her ng-tube. The remainder is still breast milk, so we’re not completely throwing in the towel.  Thicker food has made a significant difference in the feeding process. What used to be terrifying and stressful, as Eleanor would choke and stop breathing, is now a wonderful experience. The only problem is Eleanor often just gums the bottle and isn’t actually drinking anything. But she’s still happy, so we’re okay with it.  This weekend she is to repeat her stim(ulation) test. Recall from the last post, this is the synthetic injected ...

One Giant Leap Backward for Eleanor

Saturday was Eleanor’s shower. Family and friends gathered and we had a wonderful time and were blessed with such amazing, generous gifts. We are so thankful for all of the love for our little lady. When we got to the hospital afterward, Eleanor’s favorite nurse Megan had decorated her room and outfitted Eleanor in a pretty pink tutu ensemble for the occasion. Such an all around blessed day. Eleanor, however, was a cranky little thing and was not having it. She didn’t even calm down fully when Mom and Dad held her. Sunday was a little of the same. Something wasn’t quite right about Eleanor, but we all thought it was normal baby stuff (HA! "normal"!). She did have a few more heart rate dips, but the doctors determined she had just outgrown her dose of caffeine (provided to her to help her tiny brain remember to breathe) and needed more. The nurses even changed her linens to a coffee pattern for the occasion. She still had continued drops after her increased dosage, but the...
