So here we are back at home, we got home on Thursday afternoon. They decided they wanted to keep Adriana in the hospital for 2 days just to make sure she is getting better and not worse. So she was we went home with some tamaflu and albuterol every 4 hours. She is doing good, she still has that cough but her respiration is getting better and no more of that vibrating noise she use to make while breathing. She is very happy to be home, as soon as we walk her through the doors of the hospital the first thing they want is her blood and an IV. They decided they needed one and they did not use it for anything but to draw blood. As soon as Adriana felt they grabbed her hand and started feeling around she started to cry, she knew it was coming. Of course I was not able to do anything but I let the nurse know you only have once chance to get it in, if not don't touch her anymore. The nurses will keep trying until they get one in, it doesn't matter if that means 3 pokes, so I made sure I was watching. We also decided we needed a heater in the room, since Adriana is sleeping in the room with us I had her dad go out lat night and buy us a heater for the room. She is sleeping comfortable right now in our room. Adriana has been on omegaven for a little over a month now and is doing good. Her color is improving but of course she still is yellow, her eyes are but her legs are getting pink. She is not great with drinking her milk, so if you have any advice on how I can make it better please help. She does not like the bottle, and the only thing she drinks are the little drops I can get in.
