3ccs of pregestimil
I bumped Adrianas feeds to 3cc's continuously yesterday around 1:30pm. She had been on 2ccs for almost a month now and so I thought what difference would it make if I bumped her up this week before we see her GI in clinic on wend. I know he was going to let us bump her to 3 on wend anyways that was his plan. So far so good, she should not pass 300 for her ostomy output and so far she has 161 and at 4pm it will be 24 hours and I will see what the total is. I hope she doesnt reach 300, if she doesnt reach it then it means she is not dumping and is able to tolerate 3ccs. Keep your fingers crossed. She has never been on 3ccs and been able to tolerate it. the last time she was on 3ccs she started to dump but she was an inpatient ad being evaluated for transplant. Tey had to do all of these GI studies on her meaning they had to fill her up with alot of ink contrast, so I think it was not accurate. The only reason I think she was dumping was because her body was taking much more than 3 and a lot of other junk for her tests. It took 3 or 4 days to get all of the contrast out of her system, so she was still processing it. Now we will be able to reaslly tell if she could tolerate 3 and on and on. This will be what will tell us how much she can absorb, which I hope all her intestines needed was time. I have plenty of faith in her because she is a fighter as you may all tell by now. This will also determine if she will get a gt-tube placed and get the NG out of her nose which of course she hates.
