We called our nurse this morning to see how Adelina was doing and learned she'd had a rough night. The top of her wound is not healing like it should (it's seeping) and she just looked and acted miserable. Her labs looked good and her oxygen saturation's look great, she's only on a 1/2 a liter of low flow and can cry without dropping into the 50's.
Dr Griffiths came in and poked around her wound and decided if it doesn't look better tomorrow they'll intervene a little more. She is back on antibiotics, just in case. Our little advanced three month old pulled her NJ feeding tube during the night. Food has not agreed with her since they took her off fat so I can't say that I blame her. The plan is to put back the NJ and start feeding her again but they only have two fat free formula options and she isn't tolerating either one. She has severe reflux and arches her back over and over again. They spin down her milk to cut out the fat but then a full feed is only 10 calories instead of 20 which is just not enough. She is our second baby that can not tolerate formula.
She is a little fighter. Keep your heads up and trust in the Lord.
