Our tiny friend is coming home! She gained a smidge for 2 days then had some good growth the last 24 hours; .17 lb.
We woke up this morning with a scary start of her throwing up and choking on her own vomit. Tube pushed out of her nose. We've had to put it back in about once a day. Today, Angelica, Daniela (nanny) and I all trained on how to insert it, administer meds, flush the line, check placement by pulling out stomach juice and testing the PH on a little strip.
They tested her anatomy and all checks out. She will go to speech therapy to learn how to suck. She is on two different reflux meds, a gas medicine and still throwing up but not nearly as much - so much less, she is gaining weight. The tube is also a big factor as she has a strong aversion to eating. We've got a team in place now to help us work through all of that. They are even going to come to the house!
The team here has been very patient and checked all the wild things I worried about. Bless them for that.
Thank you to everyone for praying for her!!!
Emilia has been poked more than anyone should in their lifetime. May we only have happy growth updates from here on out 🙏
