Adriana has had a very busy week, this whole week she has had app the only day she had off was Monday. Yesterday we went for her clinic at Palo Alto and saw her GI, things are going good with her but she was running a low temp fever Monday so we decided to draw some blood cultures. They also did lab work, so her platelets are back up and her bili is coming down which is very good the direct is 7 soemthing and total is 9 something. The blood cultures have not grown anything, I am pretty sure that she is just trying to fight a cold. Her dad had a cold last week which is is just getting over and I am starting. So she might just be starting to get a cold as well, hopefully no infection. Her GI doctor decided she does not need the NG tube anymore and just to keep giving her the bottle so she can learn and finally take it. She is doing well she will actually open her mouth and accept the nipple of the bottle, but of course will not suck on it. So I just put the nipple in her mouth and let it drip a little milk and then she swallows it. I on't think it is measurable yet, what she drinks but soon with time it will be. She is doing good and I am too, I think I am pretty use to doing her care and feel very confortable with it now. I got into a routine now so things are going good. They also decided to go up on her omegaven, she will now be getting 6.5 of the bottle. As she grows she will get more eventually. Adriana weighs 14.10 pounds right now and her last GI app she was 6.2 kilos and now 6.6 kilos. They did cut down her calories and she is doing better.
