      • WE'RE HOME!!!
        07/31/10
        Well, we're finally home (again). Sona decided yesterday afternoon that she was really hungry, and she's been eating the maximum size bottle her docotors will allow since. Her output (that means urine and, um, poop) are a good size, demonstrating that she's processing things well.

        It's now Friday and we still have managed to dodge that second surgery. The upper GI we did earlier in the week showed that perhaps her stretched out stomach just wasn.t strong enough to contract and push the food through the now open pyloris muscle. The new doctor in charge suggested a &q

      • Begin Again
        07/27/10
        We thought we were out of the woods, but we're right back where we started. Sona checked into the hospital again yesterday afternoon because her stomach is still not draining fast enough. The docs think her surgery was incomplete (which is extremely rare from what they tell us), so she's

        What a difference a night makes. Yesterday I was exhausted and after Sona started showing signs of not tollerating her 9pm feeding I rolled into bed expecting another rough night. I woke up at 5am to find out we'd all slept peacefully all night, and Sona had a massive poop filled diaper. She

      • Hospital Update
        07/24/10
        We're still here at the hospital. Sona's feedings yesterday ended in one massive puke containing all of here prior feedings from the last 15 hours. Then in the middle of the night the vein her IV was in failed and it took several hours and a lot of stabbing to get another IV going. It

        The surgery went well, and the early stages of recovery were ok as well. To test her stomach's ability to handle food again they have her on a feeding schedule. The first feeding was 1oz of formula, as was the second feeding three hours later. Then came two 1.5oz feedings also three hours ap

      • Uh Oh!
        07/22/10
        After a day spent at the doctors office, followed by the ER, we are now at Children's Hospital with Sona, preparing for surgery. A nice radiology technician finally discovered the reason for Sona's forceful and frequent vomiting... it's pyloric stenosis . Basically she has a muscle

      • Little baby Sona Update
        07/14/10
        Our easy little baby (who does nothing but eat, sleep, and occasionally smile) got a little more difficult last week. She started throwing up much more often than before. That in itself wasn't alarming, but after a couple days the vomit was brown, indicating blood was involved.

      • They are called Jimmies, right?
        07/14/10
        Here's a nice article about the "jimmies vs sprinkles" debate. You should read it to be certain that you are informed on the issue. Here's a sample:


        Thanks to The Capital Times, I now know the difference between sprinkles and jimmies. The difference is there
