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.

First 48

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 ...

Aiming for September

Eleanor is thiiiiis close to weighing a whopping EIGHT pounds! She loves her food, even though her protein supplement gives her the most epic gas. And I do mean epic. She farts as loud as a grown adult; nurses down the hall can hear her. The plan for the little miss to get off of respiratory support has FINALLY commenced. Eleanor started an 8-week course of steroids on Tuesday. She will get two full weeks of the big kahuna dose and then taper down until she weans off at the end of the 8 weeks. Should she need more steroids closer to time to get off, they can increase the dose for a few days without causing negative effects. She is on the big kid steroid Orapred (similar to Predinisone, which I am sure many of you have heard of) which is an oral steroid she can take through her NG tube and doesn’t require an IV or any other new accessories. She will be a 'roid raging little pistol butt for the first two weeks and should calm down after her dose begins weaning. The plan is ...
