18ccs went ok

Like I had mentioned Adriana went up to 18ccs on her feeds which is 14.4 oz a day. She seems to have put out a little more than when she was on 17 but its not a big difference. I am going to keep her on 18 untill next week and then bump her to 19ccs. On our last attempt at 18ccs she put out a lot all of the sudden so it got better this time lets just see what happens. Adriana is doing good but she just cant stay still at all. Any where you put her or sit her she finds something to tug or play with, which is usually her milk tube. She will bite it and play with it. I put it behind her and just some how she manages to get it so I need to make sure to keep a eye on her. She is now being cycled for 6 hours which is great so i dosconnect her at 3 and shes off till 9 pm. I enjoy it and it makes it easier for me to put tank tops and stuff like that since her line is taped down and disconnected at that time. I run her line over her shoulder and across her bag since her ostomy bag is also on the left side just under her central line. Why the surgeon placed it there? who knows only he does why he did, but I've learned to manage. She will be getting her mickey placed on tue so lets see how I manage to do that, just something else to add to her. We will get rid of her NG tube ( the yellow line in the nose) is feeds her milk. That I am sure will make her much happier to not have, since of course it bugs her when she sneezes and coughs. She has been a trooper with keeping it in these past few months. I replace it 1 time a month and it doesnt come out untill Its time for me to replace it. Of course she scratches the tape untill its almost off but then I know its time for new tape.
