So Far So Good

She did well for the rest of the day yesterday. She weighed 37 which is not much but an improvement. Mid afternoon she was allowed to start clears, including Jello. I was so afraid to even give her Jello because I was afraid her stomach would start distending again and start the whole cycle over. But maybe having the tube at intestine combined with the medicine to help her stomach is helping avoid all that. Still, I only gave her like 7 bites. I thought it was best to start out slow instead of stressing over it and making her eat it all. I think it went well because she did not move hands around mouth while eating which she had been doing even at home which like I said before indicates she is not feeling well. So the medicine must be already helping keep stomach empty and she had 2 more bowel movements last night. She did get a little distended but not much at all. The doctors were not worried and it went down after she went to the bathroom. Please continue to pray that the medicine continues to help her stomach not distend and squeeze stuff out as it should and that she will continue to eat without it bothering her.
