February 10, 2015 - The word for today was "eat". This was our focus. Since her NG tube came out, she needs to eat. Today Addie tried her first bite of chipped ham. I was actually eating a ham and cheese sandwich and she asked for a bite. Without hesitation we gave her a tiny bite. Addie's reaction...... "I love ham". Haha, all of these years without meat - and the kid loves it. She eat a few more bites until she was done. She also tried string cheese for the first time - and you guessed it, she loved this too. We are trying to encourage small bites and small portions since she's gone for so many days without food in her tummy.
The doctor's are trying to wean down Addie's TPN so she starts to develop hunger cues - so they took her off her IV's for 2 hours today. Addie was very excited to be "free" from her IV's. We ran through the halls without dragging the IV pull behind us!
