So we used ethanol lock last week as well. It is not as easy for me to pull back the alcohol as I thought it was. If anyone has any suggestions please give them to me. I would be very much appreciated. Adriana is doing well but seems to be catching a little of a cold. Her dad gave me a cold which I feel and have been feeling very yucky and of course it was just a matter of time for her to catch it. I have to suction her nose 3 to 4 times a day because her nose gets very stuffy and she get's mad. We will be seeing her GI doctor on April 14th and maybe most likely going up on her feeds. She seems to be doing fine but of course she get's very very gaggy and I feel horrible when she get's like that. Here are some pictures of her that I took when I did laundry the other day. she is my little helper.
On March 6,2009 Adriana came into this world weighing in at 1pd 10oz 13 inch long. She was doing so well for being so small. No oxygen or any kind of help. At 2 weeks of life she got NEC, she had 2 surgeries and was diagnosed with short gut. She only has 45 cm of small and no large. She has been faced with many complications along this journey but together we will continue. Soon Adriana will be getting on omegaven and on her way to a much healthier life.
