Update 2/09/2012

Brielle is doing fine. Just giving her some time to recover from her NEC episode. It will probably be a little while longer before they try to give her milk again. Other than that she's a happy, peaceful baby right now.

What is NEC?
Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammation of the bowel (intestines) that may damage the bowel to a variable extent. It usually causes a temporary intolerance of milk feeds. NEC may affect just a small part of the bowel or, on occasions, the whole bowel may be affected.
