Addy Update

I heard from Dr. Pediatrician yesterday and we are increasing her feeds by 20 mL per feeding for a week. If she tolerates it okay then we will increase another 20mL per feed. He also referred her to the nutritionist so we will most likely see her in the next couple of weeks to see if she is on the right formula and calories and whatnot! I took her to the surgeon today, well actually his nurse practitioner whom we adore! She rechecked Addy's little booty and said that it is doing great so no more dilations! Woo hoo! She is going to check her again in a month just to make sure the scarring hasn't returned again but that's no biggie. She also filled out an order for Addy's nurses to treat her g-tube site with Milk of Magnesia a couple of times a day while I'm at work. Yes, I have to go back to work Monday! UGH! Anyway, I've been treating Addy about 3-5 times per day with the MofM and her site looks TONS better! I've tried this before and didn't see much progress but now there definitely is! Yeah! After the surgeon, I dropped Cooper and Avery off at Aunt Jill's for a little cousin and Rock Band time so I could take Addy to the ENT. We also did a hearing evaluation and she passed with flying/blazing colors! Yeah! She also had normal tympanograms so the ENT feels like things are going ok and he doesn't need to replace tubes unless she has more ear infections so this is good! Tomorrow is Jarika's turn for the doc. She re-sprained her surgically reconstructed ankle so the doctor referred her to a podiatrist and we get into them tomorrow so hopefully we will get some good news!
