We found out later that they had tried to nipple feed Jennifer after her cast was put on, and that at that point she gagged/choked on the milk.  When I asked why Jennifer choked, they said that it was because she did not have a gag reflex - when in fact it turned out that she did have a gag reflex.  Then they said that Jennifer has an 'H' Fistula between her Trachea and Esophagus which allows food to pass into the lungs; however, no such 'H' Fistula was ever found despite several examinations which were looking just for that.  When I asked if perhaps the problem was that this morning Jennifer was all pale and congested, and that a two pound cast was put on a six pound baby, and that the placing of the cast was probably quite traumatic - they said that had nothing to do with it.

Jennifer does not look well at all.  She is in an isolette.  She can just barely open her left eye, while the right eye is completely swollen shut.  They have a stomach drain in her also - for what reason I don't know.  Dr. Cromer is too busy to talk to us at any length.  Jennifer's vital signs are as follows: Wt 2750 / HR 115-125 / RR 40-70 / Temp 36.5-37.2 / 02 24-28%. Pete and Penny stopped by at the hospital with the kids.   According to Dr. Cromer, the first half of Jennifer's chromosome test is back - she has the normal 46 pairs.   I mentioned to Dr. Cromer that since Jennifer's nipleing problem she has been worse, and that her heart rate seemed to fluctuate - she said not to worry about it, because Jennifer's heart rate was within normal limits.
