Day 2

It was a long night with wake ups about every hour, we are both pretty tired and hoping to get a good nap today! They took Trinity off of the medicines (to help clean her out) about 9:30 this morning and we are going to start her on the Pediasure in the next 30 minutes through the NG-Tube. The doctors want to do this for 48 hours and evaluate her on how she does with the feeding tube and if she has any behavioral changes with the increase of nutrition and with her colon being cleaned out. If all goes well we will probably be doing the G-Tube depending on when the surgeon can fit her into the surgery schedule, the surgeon will come see her tomorrow and we will go from there. They also did an x-ray of her leg today and we will know tomorrow if the brace gets to come off.

She has really enjoyed the morning so far. They gave her an hour break from being hooked up to the machines and let her ride in her caster cart for awhile. She had so much fun and played hide-n-seek from me in the hallway of the hospital. At least today has been a much better day so far!
