I got a call and I was told that Adrianas blood cultures have shown no growth in 2 days , so far so good. On the other hand I am sure Adriana has a cold, I have a cold her dad just got over one and she has this very nasty cough. Other than that she has been doing very good. She turned 8 months yesterday and on the 9th it will be one month on omegaven. Like I had said her bili is coming down. She had an appo with the thyroid doct yesterday and I was told Adriana might not even have hypothyroidism. The problem is since she was premature so was her thyroid gland, by now it should be mature but since she is taking medication there is no way to tell. They don't want to stop her medicince because it's too risky, If she were to really have it and they stop her medicine it will affect her brain developement. So she will have to wait untill she is 3 years old to know for sure and check it. Takeing the medicine will not do her any harm if she doesnt need it though. We are also not sure why her sugars drop very fast and she is not able to be cycled of her tpn. They thought it was her liver but other children with sicker livers do fine with cycling and not her. There might just be something else to Adriana but we are just not sure yet. It will take some time to find out exactly what is causing this. The doct ordered some labs and we will see what happens from there. Adriana loves to watch tv, she likes Tom and Jerry and also sponge bob squarepants. She also enjoys playing with the toys her dad has bought her but most of all she enjoys nap time.
