We found a new strategy for working on feeding and it has been a great success. She hasn’t taken more volume yet, but she is finally not in distress every moment that the pumps are running! We are utilizing the feeding interval option that we have never used before on the feeding pump. It allows us to have her automatically on a 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off schedule. It seems to be enough of a break to eliminate that pain she was feeling. I know I said this yesterday, but I think today she will finally get to full hydration requirements. 😁 She got to 90% of her fluid goal yesterday and 11% of her food goal. Progress is slow, but it is progress!
A lot of drainage still and slightly sadder site. 😢 please continue to pray with us for Aimee’s body to be able to heal this incision. The surgeon said that he wished he would have used staples the first time to give her more healing time, so we are hopeful that they will allow her the time she needs to heal well.
We were so blessed by the prayers and worship over Aimee last night on Facebook. Thank you to all who joined us. We have definitely seen a renewed peace and alertness in Aimee. It is such a delight to see some of her personality return.
