On Saturday the nurses at NICU noticed Victroia's belly getting bloated again. She also had a poop that was described as being fluorescent green in color. They did a CBC to check for infection, however all of her blood levels appeared fine. At this point, they will just continue to monitor her. I read on the net that green poop can result from iron not being broken down. Sometimes due to infection. Coincidentally, Kristin was sent home on an iron pill each day since the baby was born. Hmmm. She also did not make 4 pounds, but for good reason. They removed the IV, hopefully for good, and she actally lost 10 grams. We are going to try and make it to the NICU in time to see Dr. Chai today to hear his explanation for the green poop. He has a way of making everything seem like small potatoes. Which is always helpful.
