Day 11




Isn't LuLu's costume cute?


Today marks day eleven at Primary Childrens Medical Center. Everyone was hoping London could come home yesterday, but she is a bit dehydrated, still has signs of infection, and her doctors are concerned about her weight. She tipped the scale at 13 1/2 pounds yesterday. They are constantly making adjustments to her TPN (IV Nutrition) to make sure they send her home with the perfect brew for her.


Additionally, LuLu's kidneys are not functioning well due to all the diuretics that are needed to keep fluid off her belly. They are making adjustments to her medications and giving her a blood protien through an IV to help them work more efficiently.


The days are long for Lizzie and LuLu in the hospital room. I'm sure home never sounded so good!

Dear Little London, Please get well soon!!! You are so strong and brave. Your parents and Jonah want you home!!! People probably think your Mom put lipstick on you as part of the costume...not knowing it's part of the liver disease. Thanks to everyone who has helped in any way. Love G&G Barnum

Little Lu Lu's eyes are amazing!! I just want to pick her up and stare into them for hours. Eleven days is so many but we are praying that there won't be too many more. Keep going...
