Her first tent

Since we last spoke Sophia has started to feel better and she has big news... She is starting to poop on her own with out suppositories and that the doctors successfully placed the NJ tube (feeding tube) in the start of her intestines. They started feeds again today... so far so good. Since the tube is in the start of her intestines and her tummy was still holding gas the doctors also placed a repogal tube in her other nostril to help drain her tummy. She had the repogal tube up until the they tried feeding her the first time. We like to now say she is camping in the RCNIC with her new blanket tent. The nurses created the tent to help mask the sounds around Sophia, there was another baby in the unit that needed a procedure at their bedside and when that happens the unit can get noisy. As the doctors wean her medicine Sophia has been getting more and more sound sensitive. When it gets loud she gets agitated. Sophia told us to thank the nurses for the tent.

Since Sophia received the blood yesterday she is doing better, tonight she had a really long awake period and she actually played with our hands with her hand and with her toes. We hope to continue to see this from her and have more fun stories to share.
