Update

We took Alyssa to Children's for her check up. Alyssa is not putting on weight like the doctor's would like, so we are going to try yet another formula. Hopefully her bowel will absorb the nutrients and she will start putting on weight. The more she grows the more her bowel grows.

Also, NJ found a lump in Alyssa's groin area and we found out it is a hernia that requires surgical repair. We are going to have the surgery at the beginning of the year. Just add it to the exciting saga of Alyssa's life. She is such a strong person. The doctor pushed in her hernia, which was actually her ovary, as he was doing it he said this is going to hurt her and all she gave was a little wince. She is absolutely amazing.
