Starting our fifth week at the clinic, Reese and I drove back to the hotel on Monday night. Tuesday morning we headed back to the clinic to start a new week. The morning was rough getting started. Reese still suffers from reflux every morning and the car ride to the clinic is not pleasant for her. Reese was weighed today and is 20lbs 8oz. She continues to move a few ounces up and down on the scale. Doctors are not worried about weigh gain at this point. They are more concerned about getting her comfortable enough to handle her tube feedings w/0 vomiting. Doctors are changing things such as adjusting medications to get Reese's reflux under control.
The first feeding went rather surprisingly. I gave Reese her first feeding session. One dry, one thickened juice and last ten bites with the back of the spoon dipped in bananas. Reese fought a little in the beginning of the session, she calmed down half way through and finished good. I did not expect her to do so well after coming off a weekend from being so ill. This surprise was short lived. The day went on and Reese experienced some tummy discomfort which lead to vomiting several times throughout the day. Maybe she wasn't quite ready ready to go back to camp.
Stay tuned for little miss Reese and her Halloween costume.......
