surgery date

Adriana has been doing good, we are working on her standing. She thinks its funny to stand in front of the mirror and see herself. She has a blast with that, her little legs are getting stronger and stronger and she is able to stand a little longer each time. The only thing is she does not have good balance so if I let her go she will fall to the side. She's working on all of that I'm sure withing the next few months she will be walking, she has been wanting to do it since she was much smaller but of course not possible. I'm sure when she starts walking nothing will hold her back. Adriana's surgery has been scheduled for July 6Th, she will be getting her gt tube placed (mickey) in Stanford. She will have a great surgeon very nice as well, its hard to find a friendly surgeon. He told me the surgery would take 30 minutes but gave me a estimated time of 1 hour 30 minutes just in case. It will be done lapriscopicly if possible if not he will make a little cut. Hopefully no cuts, she has plenty of that. I bumped Adriana's feeds to 18 last night at midnight and so far it looks like she is tolerating, lets just see what the 24 hours show. At our last attempt at 18ccs she started to dump like crazy I hope that is not the case this time. Her GI told me we will move a little slower on her feeds maybe she just needs to slow down a little but he told me it doesn't mean she will be stuck at 17. She has been moving pretty quick on feeds so its OK to give her a little break. Everything else looks good with her, she also has a appo with the eye doctor to get her eyes examined on July 14Th. When she saw her pediatrician he felt that her left eye was a little weak, so he would like to have them checked out. He said most likely she has nothing it could be the that her nose is narrow so its a false image but just in case. I agree so lets just see what happens with that, I haven't noticed that, she sees just fine but we will see.
