Payton's OK

That's what our Primary nurse always says 1st when she calls us to update (and we thank her for it to relieve our worry when we see that the hospital is calling).

Anyway, I've gotten a bit of flack for slacking off on updates of Payton. Not my intention but rest assured its because Payton is ok and things have settled into a slow progressive pattern.

They continue to increase her feeds slowly and she's now at 16 ml/hr.

The great news is her G-tube output has significantly decreased thus her feeds look to be absorbed 100%. We think its likely from the 2nd surgery where they untwisted her stomach along with placing her G-tube and JG-tube.

In other news, the reason we've gotten so behind is because our schedule has gotten busy with activities that take us away from the computer (ie this blog post is via Dwayne's phone).

We've both been cycling, hiking and I'm going to soon start adding running (something I can do with Livy in a short period of time).

Livy continues to advance and we continue to be in awe of how smart she is. If she didn't look like Dwayne I'd question whether the lab made a mistake.

I have a few pictures I want to add but there not on Dwayne's phone so I'll add them later. Rest assured we're keeping busy and trying to sort out a schedule that will hopefully be well established by the time Payton gets home (nurse today said 4 weeks but we're optimistic).
