25 & Only the Feeding Tube




I was advanced to 25 cc's today. Which is very exciting news. Mommy and Daddy are so excited that we are getting closer to my goal. I lost a little bit of weight since I am no longer on any IV's or PICC lines, but my doctor isn't concerned. I made it through another night without throwing up. I also slept through the night, but in my swing, not the crib. Mommy and Daddy think that I don't like my crib because I am uncomfortable in my reflux wedge and it is a place I associate with everyone poking and bothering me. But little do they know it is just because I want to be closer to them. . . . :0) I am getting THEM TRAINED. Plus now that I only have my feeding tube, I am able to leave the room easier and mommy and daddy can pick me up easier.
My doctor has started talking/thinking about discharge. . . . . . . I think they are going to order my backpack pump and mommy and daddy are going to start learning how to insert my feeding tube. The doctor said he is confident that mommy and daddy are smart enough to transition my continuous feedings to bottle feedings at home. Which I am glad that someone thinks they are smart. When I try to tell them stuff, they seem to take forever to figure it out. I mean come on, do they "not understand the words that are coming out of my mouth". But, I'll keep them, they don't seem too bad.

That's all for today. Here is a picture of my daddy trying to get me to sit like he does.

Bye, Bye
Love,
Alyssa

The first picture is adorable - shows so much personality. Glad to hear the doctors acknowledge that you two are very capable parents. Even happier to hear that you all are discussing going home soon. Keep up the good work Brosts!
