Feeling Better

Everyone seems to be feeling better. Even though Alyssa tested negative for Rotavirus, the doctor's think she caught some type of bug since my parents and I got it too. The GI specialist came to see Alyssa and said that since she is short gut, it is going to take 4 to 6 weeks for her intestines to recover. So it looks like the best option for us to get out of here anytime soon would be to have her get the Broviac line and go home on TPN (no lipids though which is the most damaging to the liver) Not what we wanted, but we are leaning towards it because we want to go home and don't want her to catch anything else and have more set backs. We still have time to make a decision and have many more questions to ask.
