She's down for an MRI with color contrast right now to make sure the bile ducts are operating correctly. We've also entered the teaching phase for medicating her. It's nice because I no longer have to beg to help with her medical care but am expected to help dishing, serving and understanding her medications.
She is healing quite well as can be seen by her tantrums when she wriths and screams on the bed. She also reliably sits well and plays with her toys and playing pee-a-boo can actually make her laugh. She was in an exceptionally good mood last night as she sat in bed, played and talked with me while I washed bottles.
Instead of a long post I put some time into pictures. Enjoy.
Oh, she also pulled her own ND (feeding tube) out as a wake-up present for me yesterday morning and has been eating even better since (16oz yesterday). She's also nursing a bit again which makes nights much easier.
Thanks for the update, Patricia. I hadn't been able to check the blog or FB for a few days due to craziness at home/work. The past few days for you all seem to have been a whirlwind. I hope those steroids take care of the rejection and that Shayna's drainage improves. I love that the yellow is gone from her eyes, the orange from her milk, and that the beautiful smile is back on her sweet face. You and Nahum look very well, too. Onward and upward! Xoxo Jenny et al.
