gastric emptying and feeds advance

We got the results back for Adriana's gastric emptying, its NORMAL. Normal is not a really a word for her since nothing about her is normal but I was told the gastric test showed that everything is working. In a hour she showed nothing in the stomach meaning it does what it should do. The last test they did was way back in october and it showed no movement in 3 hours I believe. That was why she was not able to tolerate her feeds, I guess now I know. Well she is doing basiaclly amazing and seems like she might be getting a little cold. She has been coughing the past 2 night and a little ocngested here and there but hopefully she fights it off and doesnt get sick. She needs to be well for this saturday which is her baptism and her big party. Well we will have a upper GI done as well and lets just see what that shoes. Hopefully it also shows a big inprovement like this exam. She has come a long way and is a amazing little girl, I always knew she was capable of more than the doctors credited her for. She also gained 10oz in 1 week so they might also alter her tpn or lets wait and see. She is absorbing all of her feeds and is at 12 so far but tonight in the am I iwll bump her to 13 lets see how she handles that. Shes been a trooper through all of this and has plenty of things to show off, includeing her broviac, iliostomy, and a NG for now. People do stare at her especially kids and I also get a few adults that just cant take there eyes off of her even if you look at them. Weird huh? I guess not it's something Im use to the only thing that bugs me is they look at her as she were from another planet. Anyways lets see how her feeds go.
