Surgery Part 4

The last 24 hours..... let's see. We started yesterday off with feeding. She had a little bit of pedilyte, then a little of formula, then we tried some baby food. She had very small portions of each before she was tired of it. Her biggest meal was last night 1.5 oz of formula and 1/2 jar of baby food. This is what we will be working on today, just getting her tummy to handle more food. Her G-tube is ordered to "rack and vent" right now, which makes holding her very difficult. This morning it seemed like she was sick of lying in bed. Yesterday she sat in her bouncy seat for a while, but it basically holds her in the same position as the way she's in bed, which is for the "rack and vent" process. Last night I got a bit more sleep then the night prior, I think i was only up about 5 times, which allowed me to have a series of 2 hour naps in-between interruptions. Much better, but still finding myself sleepy this morning. When Mike arrives I'll go take a nap again at a friends house.

On other news the older children had a soccer game last night. I'm told that our Shiloh played goalie and actually stopped the ball 3 times. This is pretty amazing considering her very feminine nature, and the fact she basically danced around the field hugging all her female teammates up to this point. I can barely picture it happening.
