Emma has started to tolerate her feeding (at times). If her stomach is distended, then they hold the feeding and wait 3 hours to see where her stomach is at then. She is at 85 ml. Her normal is 170 ml. So we are about half way there. Some of the test results are back. Emma’s test for H1N1 is positive. But most of the flu symptoms are gone now. Just trying to get the feeding back up to where it should be. They are going to shoot for a Friday hospital release date. So time will tell. Emma has not wanted to take naps in the afternoon. But, when she doesn’t have a nap, she will fall asleep by 9 p.m. and usually will sleep the night with only an occasional cry for her pacifier. So, that is the latest. Thanks for all the prayers. I know they are helping. Love to all, Grandma Carol

Hi
My daughter was g-tube feed for quite some time….and her tummy was our barometer as to how she was/is doing…..I suspect that when Emma is ‘all better’ from the flu and her body has rested a few days she will tolerate feeds….that is our experience.
Hope she is home soon
