8CCS and advancing
Well I went up on Adriana's feeds on Friday, she went from 7 cc cont to 8ccs. At first she started to put out some high output but later as the day went on it seemed to slow down. After the 24 hours I got about 230ccs. It is consist ant with her output daily, it is a little more but its normal....as she gets more in she should put more out. Nothing new with her... she did vomit a good amount yesterday but it was just milk. I had a problem with her NG tube yesterday night, I was trying to change the milk bag and the little tube broke in 2. Of course there was only one thing for me to do.. change her NGtube. I pulled it out last night and of course measured the line to her tummy and placed it.... may I remind you this is the very first time I place it on my own with no one watching or helping me. I am proud of myself...... and then I listened for placement and it seemed to be in the right part. That means that when we go to clinic on wend the NG tube will not need to be replaced. It was time to change the tube anyways.... it had already been a month. We have clinic wend and lets see what happens... maybe I can get a answer of to when she might get her GT tube placed. I hope it is soon... it has been a while sine i have been able to get a picture of her pretty face without any lines, tapes, or raw skin. I know she would love to get it removed as well.... she loved it yesterday for the few minutes it was out of her face. Well she seems to be advancing on her feeds little by little and seems to be doing good so far.
