A Nine-Pound Peanut


It’s been a while since the last update! This is the start of (I believe) week 4 of Eleanor’s steroid regimen. The steroids are doing their job and Eleanor is weaning her support settings well. The little lady hit NINE POUNDS today and, as always, is looking adorable as all get-out in all her onesies and holiday-themed outfits and gigantic head bows.

The past several visits have all been so rewarding. I got to hold my niece for the first time Friday afternoon! Her Grandpa Bob held her on Monday morning. Eleanor is alert (and looking like brown-eyed girl more and more every day!!), expressive (so fun seeing her responses), and it’s a whole different experience getting to hear her (helps, not having a tube down your throat, I’d reckon). Also want to note how amazing a four-day weekend probably was for Kim and Alex. A happy Memorial Day weekend it was, indeed.

This weekend, Eleanor also got upgraded to a larger crib (more room for activities!) and is really set up in the toy department. While she’s not been terribly interested in all her new toys just yet (just really into the WubbaNub at the moment…and honestly, I’m gutted that I didn’t come up with the idea of attaching a beanie baby to a pacifier first), I’m sure that as she develops (and looks in different directions), she’ll have just as much fun with them as the adults in the room are having!

Thanks for reading!

    I am overwhelmed with joy at hearing you and your dad have held our Eleanor. I await the day when I do the same. Thank you, Pamela, for the news, and your eloquence.

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 Last Hurdle Before Home

My has the time flown (but at the same time crawled)! Eleanor is now 5 months old and this morning weighed in at 10lbs, 13oz! She officially is too big for newborn clothes as well as the tiny baby socks. She poops on her ensemble approximately once a day and still enjoys playing and being held. She is doing very well post-steroid regimen. Her last dose of the big guns was on Friday morning. She has since switched to hydrocortisone so that her adrenal gland knows to kick it back into gear and her body doesn’t go into a shock of sorts without the steroid boost. She will have to have an ACTH test in two weeks when she is finished with this round of steroids. ACTH is a hormone injected into the shoulder muscle. They draw blood before and after to measure how well the adrenal gland responds. Eleanor has also been learning bottles. She started off pretty well, initially taking bottles with understanding the general concept of suck, swallow, breathe, but she oftentimes just wants to...

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 ...
