So far, so good

We had a visit from the surgeons - and not just any surgeon, it was the fellow and the boss - and based on their assessment of Amelia, they don't believe that we should be worried at all that she has necrotizing enteral colitis.  In the past 24 hours her abdominal girth has gone down a few centimeters, the xrays look clear, and (just as the doc was opening her diaper) she had a huge, smelly bowel movement.  The surgeons were going to follow her for the next few days but they said they really didn't think they would need to get involved.  So today: good news!  In a couple of days, let's hope for more good news. 

Getting good news like this is always such a relief.    We were having coffee and Celia tried this cranberry cider thing.  At first she said it was very soothing and made her feel better but then we realized that after the good news we got, the nice, soothing cider topped it off and made her feel good all over (not in THAT way, get your mind out of the gutter).  Have you ever had that sense of relief and comfort at the same time?
