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

Front Row at the Eleanor Show

Suffice it to say that today (Friday) was a very good day, and not just because the sun was shining in Akron, Ohio. Though Eleanor is luxuriating at 98 degrees and 70 percent humidity on a regular basis, the rest of us will take what we can get. Kim and Alex were able to return home together Thursday evening, and Kim got to take a shower at home and sleep in her own bed for the first time in weeks. Mom and Dad received NO calls from the hospital in the middle of the night, meaning that Eleanor had a good night, too. Because she did not soil her diaper yesterday evening, she was catheterized in the morning. As it turned out, she indeed had a full bladder, but just didn't want to go, apparently, the silly girl. This morning, the nurses placed a blanket beside Eleanor that Kim had carried on her, so that baby can sense her mother's presence. She also had her eye mask removed following yesterday's bilirubin treatment, and her grandparents we were able to meet her for the

An update on the update :)

On Saturday, doctors continued to treat the infection from Thursday and determined that the bacteria serratia was present. This is a bacteria that lives in tubes and damp places, i.e. PICC lines, breathing tubes, etc. Doctors explained that it's a bacteria our grown bodies wouldn't even notice, but since she's so small and her immune system so underdeveloped, it hits her hard. Her blood gases were actually great during her infection, so it's likely she didn't even know she had it. They also did a spinal tap to rule out her having meningitis, in addition to the serratia. The liquid that was removed was clear, generally a good sign, but results won't be complete for two days. So far the spinal tap cultures haven't turned up anything. If she doesn't have meningitis, she can have fewer days of antibiotics, which means less of a likelihood that the antibiotics will kill all her good bacteria. The infection cultures taken on Thursday were negative (other t
