Please keep the prayers coming, Quinn is having a little setback in the struggle to go foreword. Her Bilirubin** is up from 6.1 to 6.6, She is back on a feeding tube again because she doesn't like the taste of the formula she has to eat. The formula is making her stomach upset so that's a problem.

Again Thanks Everyone
Quinn's surgeons say she is doing well. She is taking formula but doesn't seem to really like it. They say she will get use to the taste but it smells terrible. She is only eating 1-1.5 oz at a time and it takes her awhile to eat. They took her JP out and her IV went bad so they switched her to oral antibiotic Not bad for 4 days after surgery. They are going to go over her biopsy results tomorrow, I really hope we get some good news.
Kollin went home this afternoon to spend some time with Kolbe and they will come back down tomorrow with my sister. No word yet on when we might get to go home.
Tomorrow Quinn will be 6 weeks old! I can't believe how much she has gone through in the short time she has been with us.
**Bilirubin (formerly referred to as hematoidin) is the yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism. Heme is found in hemoglobin, a principal component of red blood cells. Bilirubin is excreted in bile and urine, and elevated levels may indicate certain diseases. It is responsible for the yellow color of bruises, the background straw-yellow color of urine (via its reduced breakdown product, urobilin ? the more obvious but variable bright yellow colour of urine is due to thiochrome, a breakdown product of thiamine), the brown color of feces (via its conversion to stercobilin), and the yellow discoloration in jaundice.
