Mishiah really started improving today. She did sleep off and on most of the morning and we were still having quite a bit of trouble getting her to drink anything. So this afternoon we decided to unhook her from everything and take her to the play area. We spent about an hour there and she really wore herself out. She came back to the room and took a pretty good nap. We tried several items but had a pretty hard time getting her to "eat" much of anything. She had about 1/4 of a cup of jello but it was very slow going.....we finally got the bright idea that since she's so strong willed we'd need to trick her into thinking she was feeding herself. So we sat her in front of Lucius on the floor and let her take spoons of chocolate pudding but assisted the spoon into her mouth so she wouldn't go in too far and hurt her mouth...she ended up eating about 1/2 the pudding and an apple juice this evening. She's now off the I.V. and since she's seeing improvement on drinking and taking in liquidy foods, it looks like we'll probably be going home tomorrow morning!
Thank you for all your prayers!

Love the fancy moving picture - how did you do that? Glad you were able to get some food in her. The videos were adorable. I loved how she shakes her head. Miss you guys. Many prayers still being sent your way!!
ReplyDeletePicasa or Google+ automatically takes 3 or 4 very similar pictures and puts them into the moving picture....we forgot our camera and computer so we're doing everything from an IPAD....so the pictures aren't the best but the apps that pull everything together did some cool things (once we figured them all out and how it all interfaced).....
