Morgan is growing up!
Just a quick note to let you all know that Morgan had her appointment with the dietician this week. Morgan had gain 1/10th of a pound. This isn't much but taking into account that we took away some of her milk 6 weeks ago it was a successful amount. We went from 3 milk tube feedings during the day and the continuous feed at night to only two feedings during the day and the continuous at night. We started today to go to only one feeding during the day along with the nighttime feeding. At the beginning of the year we will be able to take out the last daytime feeding. We will go back into to see the dietician in mid February and check our progress. We are all very excited about this prospect and feel that Morgan is ready to move on from her tube feedings. She is a good eater and loves all kinds of food. She loves broccoli, zuchini, chicken, chinese food, pasta and pizza. She is open to trying most things which is very helpful. Once we have cut out all the daytime feedings by tube she will be getting all her daytime calories by mouth and then we can slowly start cutting back on the calories that she receives at night. If all progresses according to the plan our dietician thought that she could be done with her tube around 3 1/2 which is almost exactly when Kaylee finished with hers.
Sorry, I don't have any pictures to post right now, but was excited to share this news!
