Good news

So today we had GI clinic it actually went very well. Nothing but good news came from it. Adriana will not be off TPN for 4 hours so she will run 20 hours. It gives us a longer brake and able to enjoy her without any tubes to detangle her from. She is doing very good on her 3cc's of pregestimil that her Dr. told me we will be bumping her up 1cc every week to see what she can tolerate. her new number is 350, it went up 50 from our old number. He is also thinking of placing a gt tube as well. As she becomes more dependent on her formula her NG will not be as dependent as her GT tube. Keep your fingers crossed and hopefully she can tolerate her feeds and then no more tpn. One day she will be line free it may not be tommorow or the next day but some day soon she will. As for her lab she finally has normal lab numbers, NORMAL bili can you believe it? Such beautifull news, nothing but good news did we have today. She will continue to be on ethanol once a week for 2 hours. I was told 2 hours has the same affect as 12 or 4 or 6, so it doesnt make a difference. They only use 2 here at our GI clinic for all patients. So jumping off topics friday I will bump her feeds to 4. Wish her the best of luck.
