Elsa is getting the help she needs

Katie and I had to take Elsa to the emergency room today. Apparently, she just wasn't getting enough food, and she became very dehydrated as a result. She's spending the night in the intensive care unit to make sure her weight stops falling, and then they'll transfer us to a regular room sometime tomorrow if nothing else comes up. They have her on a saline and glucose solution, and we're talking with a lactation specialist in the morning to see what we can do to make sure she gets enough in the future. We'll keep you posted, one way or another.

Thanks for the update Nathan. I think I might be able to sleep now.

Thinking of you, Baby Elsa...and mom and dad. It must be scary and stressful to have to return to the hospital. But, you guys are loving and attentive parents and you are already doing a great job looking out for EZB.

Love, Katie
