April 15th - first day of dialysis

Gabi started her dialysis today. So far so good, and the good news is she is back to her birth weight, so she is keeping enough food down to grow. Yay! She tends to spit up a lot, but I guess that is pretty normal. She doesn't always want to eat enough or often enough, so they are debating placing a permanent feeding tube in her tummy. It would require more surgery, so we hope it won't be necessary. She is not even 2 weeks old yet! She is so precious and beautiful, with such big blue eyes just like her beautiful mommy. She can't be held for a few days, and it is hard on us to see her but not be able to pick her up to cuddle. Once her body adjusts to the dialysis, then we will be able to cuddle again... I can't wait!!
