Another Change of Scenery

Payton's been moved again!!  She's still in the NICU but in a room that's for more stable babies.  So we're very happy for that.

Everything else is pretty much as it was yesterday.  Her old PICC line is still stuck in her foot.  She's still got a very red and sore leg from that PICC line and her stomach drainage is still working to prevent her from reflux (thereby confirming that her intestines still aren't working).

I did get a chance to ask one of the surgeons at what point they will decide to do something about it.  The surgeon said they will give her till next week but that they are pretty sure she's going to need a tube surgically inserted into her abdomen and into her intestinal wall.

So I think we're down to really low odds that Payton will 'figure it out' but I want to point out how many other low odds we keep hitting.

Chance of CDH in a baby:
1:2500 (at least, some studies show 1:4000)

Placenta Previa:
1:100

Chance of a PICC line becoming infected:
1: ~100 (doc said she's put in hundreds and has only seen it one other time)

Chance of a PICC line becoming stuck (Dr. said she's never seen it but has heard of it).
1:??? 500???  (best guestimate :D )

So if Payton has a 1% chance (no idea but figured that's a pretty low odds) than really, in the realm of her beating the odds she has a chance for her belly to figure it out by next week :)

Ahh, the rambling thoughts of a diillusioned mother.
