| Jillian taking an afternoon nap |
So after the swallow study speech went to the team of doctors and said that she thought Jillian could take whatever by bottle because she was not aspirating. Thus the team said that the three 15ml bottles a day that Jillian was getting of water was going to switch back to milk. I did not think this was such a great plan but I went with it figuring it would not last long anyhow, and if it was not going to work I rather it fail here then at home. Well it lasted even less time then I thought. Jillian got her first milk bottle to drink at 9:00 tonight and within 5 minutes she was choking and turned red and has been coughing off and on since. I have decided no more milk bottles for now. I want her to continue the skill of sucking but I can not have her choking on milk... that is why we are in here. I guess we will discuss it more at rounds. I am willing to keep doing water as long as she does not choke on it.
The stool softener and enema have worked today. She pooped twice today. Once this morning right after getting it and the second time was while choking tonight. It is not her normal poop though and I can tell why she needed some help getting it out. :(
My mommy came back tonight to hang out with us. She will be with us tomorrow while Brent is at work. I am so fortunate to have such amazing family and friends that love us and take care of us.
Well I need to go watch Jillian sleep. She is choking a lot again and just started turning red again while she was sleeping in her bouncer. If it keeps up like this my mom and I will end up taking turns staying up tonight with her. Right now she is back in grandma's arms.
