I came in this morning and Teryn was "soundly' snoozing on her belly with her face planted in the sheets. She gets that luxury for now since she is on such high tech monitors. Her nurse and I were cracking up at her snoring so I grabbed a quick video of it. Sorry you can't see her, I was trying to get close enough to get good sound. Hilarious.
I saw that the nurse was getting her milk ready so I assumed that the recent xray showed her ND tube to be in place....nope. During rounds they decided to take the ND out and try gtube feeds again. On Wednesday she was refluxing with food in her belly. However, we know our God is the God of miracles so let's see. They have started her at a very low rate, 10mls an hour continuous. She eventually needs to be at 27 an hour for full feeds. If this works, then there is a possibility she may not have to stay on continuous feeds which means she would not have to be on the pump 24 hours a day.
The doctors are hoping this will work while we wait the 10 days to retry the other tube procedure. However...if this works then we won't need the other procedure. Also, if they can get the ND tube out of her nose then it may help with her breathing as well.
Great news!!!! James is on his way to visit us today. We can't wait to see him. Teryn has grown so much since his last visit. I can't wait for him to see her on her tummy lifting up and looking around and especially to see her smile!
