So here is the latest scoop on Adriana, she is doing better but her cough is still the same. It is also a little better but now she has secretions which seem to be hard to get out. She will cough a lot until she is finally able to vomit and get it out. It does take her a while though and I know she is very uncomfortable. We will be seeing the doctor hopefully tomm and see what he thinks. We went to her GI appo on wend and everything looks well, they did go down on her sugar in her TPN bag and up on her omegaven. She is now down to 13% on her sugar and getting 70ml of her omegaven. She also weighs 15 pounds 5 oz, they just don't want her to grow too fast so they had to adjust some things. Well her bili is at 10 right now and was 9.7 last time but since she is fighting this cold the Dr thinks that is why. They also told me that her other liver numbers have come down 200 points which means everything is going in the right direction and soon her liver will feel much better. I can tell her yellowness is going away, not just in the eyes but her face and legs are becoming more pink and less yellow. She has been doing good other than this nasty cold, bronchitis that she has. I know it will take time to get over this but she is a very strong baby. The Dr also feels we should put the NG tube back in her nose to see what she can handle with feeds. We will most likely wait until our next appo to do this because since she does have this cold he doesn't want it to plug up her nose even more. He also feels that in the future as we advance on her feeds which hopefully will happen they will need to put a GT tube in her belly. It is another surgery which has many complications but it is one more thing to help heal her. We will see what happens with time only time will tell. I will keep updating everyone and add more pics of her soon
