A little update is better than nothing

Well, I'd like to post more details.... if only I had more details.
The agency has been better yesterday and today about more frequent communication and answering some questions. The problem is: they don't really have any answers!
To backtrack: We were told a week ago today that Eliana was in the hospital. Initially they thought that she had a heart murmur but something made them think that it was actually some sort of heart condition that might need surgery. I didn't want to post anything, or really even tell anyone, because we didn't know anything. It was so vague.
No news over the weekend.
Monday and Tuesday still no news.
Wed we started being more vocal to the agency that we needed more frequent and more informative information. It was killing us to just sit around and wait... and then hear nothing. Since then they have contacted us much more often, but somehow, they still don't know much.
We got a few messages yesterday that included a couple different possible diagnoses. The doctor wouldn't say for sure, but it wasn't looking good.
Then, very late last night we got a message that Eliana has been moved from the NICU to intermediate care. She is doing some better. This both gives me hope and enrages me. Thank God she is out of the NICU and hopefully doing better. But why can't we get some actual information?
The hospital is just today getting around to doing an echocardiogram ( a test that in the US would have been done in the first 24 hours). We hope to get some more info from the attorney soon. She is the only one that the hospital communicates with. Her English is not great (and I don't think she's medically inclined) so what that info will translate to us is questionable.
With the weekend here, I am doubtful of any news coming for a few days. The agency says they will call if they hear anything. We'll see.
I am hopeful. Much more today than yesterday. I am also angry. and sad.
