Adriana has been doing good, she did have her GI appt not so long ago. Her next one will not be untill March 2 days after her 2nd birthday. Adriana is doing good, she has had no line infections lately and she has been able to stay out of the hospital. Her liver is doing good and healthy no problem with that, her weight has been a little flat for a few months now. They decided to go up on her dextrose just a little, that should help her gain weight but at a slow pace as they want her to. Adriana is not yet walking by herself but does stand of course holding things and cruises while holding on to something. She will walk through the house with her walker but not yet so confident to let go and do it all by herself. In no time she will be walking, she is a very happy baby. She drinks water which she enjoys doing and licking lolly pops which she also enjoys doing. She does not yet eat but does try certain foods and tastes them as well. She will only accept water, anything else she iwll not drink. She enjoys exploreing arount the house and loooking for something to get into. She has learned to open all drawers and at time I find myself picking up clothes around the house that she has decided to pull out. She also loves to meet new people and all the attention she gets. She loves to say Mio for everything, meaning it is all hers. She does share her toys and loves to play with other children.

Adriana is still at 25cc a hour for 20 hours right not but her GI decided to start her on Flagyl. Its suppose to treat BO if she were to trully have any. She has never showed any sign that she may have it but her Gi feels that that might be the reason why we have not been able to advance her feeds. Adrianas last day on Flagyl will be today and then tomm I will check her output and then advance to 26 and see how she does. Cross your fingers and hopefully we go up from there, we have been lingering at 25 for a few months now and I would love to see a new number on our machine. Adriana is doing well other than that, she has not had any issues with anything. I ahve been treating some angry granulation tissue under her gt tube but it has gotten better and as long as being treated it seems to stay under control which is always good. Besides all of her complications Adriana loves life, she enjoys bath time with her Dora mat and ridding in the car in her ar seat. She will always point out the window meaning she wants out or say beep beep meaning she wants to ride in the car. If she seems me or her dad getting ready she gets excited because she thinks we are headed out the door. I will add pics of Adriana as soon As I figure out how to get it working again.
