Excited about Poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop!
Well the last 4 days have been a big deal. Zoey has gradually went up weight every single day since they started her re-feeding & made several adjustments with her feedings/nutrients/upping & lowering etc, etc, etc. Last night she went up 140 grams & is increasingly more & more active since her big day earlier this week with the poking & prodding & testing. Docs & nurses are pleased with this growth once again & this sloooooooooooooow climb towards 5 pounds & the eventual surgery. The reason for the title is Zoey has had 3 poops, the first time she's been able to since her surgery & being unhooked 2 & 1/2 months ago. This is a big deal for her & her progression. While it's not much that they're re-feeding, it's proof that we need that her lower intestine & all the intricate parts down there are working, at least to some degree. While we don't know what things will look like once Zoey goes in & then out of surgery, this is a positive to be happy about that hopefully will be one step closer to getting Zoey home. Seems like there was a lot of days we never knew if this could or would ever be over. Fingers crossed again.
