One tough tootsie


When visiting Sophie you never know what pose she'll be striking for you. Tonight she was cracking me up with this tough looking pose. It was as if she was saying don't worry mommy I am tough and that she truly is. Today was another roller coaster, nothing truly major happened. She had some unhappy moments and was a little raspy so they took her High flow Oxygen from 4LPM to 5LPM they then did an x-ray and did not believe that the High flow was the issue so she went back to 4LPM. Then in rounds they moved her feeds up to 8ML per hour a little later her repogal started having formula in it so they dropped her feeds to 7 ML per hour. She a little later had a few spit ups so they ordered a stomach x-ray and found out that the NJ tube moved again... to a little higher in her intestine just after her stomach, thus causing the occasional formula in her repogal. They are hoping once again that the flow of formula will move the tube back to the NJ position and not move higher into her stomach. So as I said the day was a bit of a roller coaster but overall she is still doing well. Also I am happy to report that even with the roller coaster ride she was on... she also has had some really good awake times during the day as well.
