Sona is eating

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 "wait and see" approach to give her poor stomach time to shrink down and heal.

The IV gave her all her fluids and the tube through her nose sucked out her stomach and kept it free of agitation. Finally, yesterday morning, the tubes were all removed and Sona started eating small amounts of food.

It's now been a full day on food and the many wet or dirty diapers suggest she is processing some or all of what she's eating. The amount of food has slowly increased over the last 24 hours up to 2oz bottles. We're hoping she can make it all the way to the 3oz bottles scheduled for this afternoon. If so that might mean we get to go home with a healthy baby tomorrow.

As a special treat I picked up Silver Spur BBQ for our dinner last night. The service was horrible, but the food was awesome!
