Sheila's post on caring bridge site last nite:
Not much new to report today, they did some more lab, urine and a sweat study to check for cystic fibrosis. They wanted to check for that because of her vomiting, and it was negative. UA looked good and her white count was a little elevated. They are hoping that infection is the reason her liver isn't draining well. We will see how things are after a few days of antibiotics. They are checking her labs again tomorrow but they dont expect them to go down this soon. If things don't look better after a few day we may be heading towards a liver transplant. I really hope this doesn't get that far but we are starting to prepare ourselves for that. I wish something would start to go her way. Quinn is still being a trooper. She didn't get much rest today because of all the tests so she slept a lot this afternoon. When she did wake up she was smiling a lot and sticking her tongue out at us, she is so cute and sweet. She gave us some good laughs with the funny faces she makes.
Please keep praying for my sweet little bug

Just received word that Quinn's lab work shows her bili level is down......looks like an infection. Keep the prayers coming!
They're still coming, Dan. I'm always amazed at the resilience of little people - she is certainly a fighter!! Hope the positive trend continues!
Best wishes and very gentle hugs for your "little bug".

Sheila's post today on Caring Bridge :
Labs are down! Total bili is 5.2, down from 6.4 and her direct bili is 4.2, down from 5.2! Liver enzymes are only down s little. I am so relieved. She will probably be in the hospital till monday. She may get a picc line so I can do her antibiotics at home. A picc would be nice since she is such a tough stick and they can draw her labs from that. She vomited once last night when we changed her feedings back to a bolus but not as much as before. She also vomited once today but I think she got too much of her meds after a feeding.
Kolbe came down today and we are going to see monsters university. Today was a good day.

Keeping the little one in our thoughts as well.
We had problems with both our kids with formula. I know that there is more going on here but neither of our kids could use the average price formulas. They would throw up everything until we eventually found something they could tolerate. Of course it was the most expensive stuff made and they couldn't take any milk. I was concerned at first about them becoming lactose intolerant but they go through about a gallon of milk each every 3 days now.
Like I said I know that there is more going on in this case but I don't know if it also impacts keeping formula down.
