Arlyn has done exceptionally well over the last few days. Last evening and this morning she was weaned down to 0.5 L NC and has two feeding tubes in as of this morning one in her stomach and the one that she has had in her duodenum. The reason for two is to assure she gets full nutrition even if she cannot tolerate full feeding in her stomach we can still give her food in her intestine. Yesterday she was attempted a bottle and vomited after the fact so nutrition, speech and lactation should be coming by today to start evaluation. Last night I sat with Arlyn from 8pm until almost 1am and we (Mommy and nursing) realized she was having quite a bit of gas pain so they added mylicon drops for her to have some relief.
Scott got back to the hospital after work and met me down with the baby. Daddy was helping change a diaper and Arlyn with a huge grin on her face pooped all over daddy. I couldn't stop laughing, it was quite the scene from a movie. Overall our gorgeous girl is doing wonderful and now with her respiratory status slowly becoming a distant memory the focus is not on her feeding. I am hopeful that today will be continued progress and appreciate all the support and prayers for our family.
