Well yesterday was a pretty good day for Daryl. her feeds have been increased to 6 ccs every 3 hours, which is the most she has ever eaten.the last time she ate before the surgery she was getting 5 ccs, but then she backed up and had to stop. she still seems to be tolerating well, her poo is solid enough and shows no signs of diarrhea. the doctors are going very slow with the increases because she only has 40/65 cm left of intestine, so they want to know how much she can handle. it is so slow and she is always hungry after we feed her. once she gets to 90 ccs every 3 hours she will be able to get off the tpn bag. we hope it doesn't take 3 more months at 1cc per day. she acts like a normal little baby, so we want to take her more than 18inches from her bed. oh well. i thasn't been 5 months yet.but it sure seems like it.
