Doctors pushed forward Sophia pushed back

To each action there is a equal and opposite reaction. The last four days the doctors have asked a lot of Sophia, starting feeds, weaning nitric trying to get her to poop, an MRI, an Echo cardiogram, and x-rays just to name a few. Sophia has said enough is enough with all of the changes, in fact she has requested that she get some of it back. Now don't be alarmed, she is still overall doing well she is just telling the doctors she is not quite ready yet. Overall she has been agitated all day for several reasons. I don't know if you all remember me talking about how important pooping was, Well she has still been having problems pooping today we found out that her stomach is not moving things through as it should, thus causing the lack of pooping and also if she is not pooping it our it has to go somewhere, so she was spitting up the feeds. At this point the doctors and nurses are working to settle her down and figure out what to do next. She has also been placed back on Nitric and we are not sure at this point when they will try to remove her vent. With CDH babies you learn very quickly that they are the boss when getting better and some times you move forward a ton and then have to make a few steps backwards in order to move forward again.
