And the potassium level is . . .

4.9!

Lucy has had her NG tube out for a week now. She kept pulling it out while at daycare, so we decided to trial her without it. The daycare has been great about encouraging Lucy to drink her bottles, and she is really starting to breastfeed well.

The nephrology team doesn't want to try weaning Lucy's sodium supplements for a couple months minimum, but at least it looks like we are okay without the feeding tube.

We will continue to have blood drawn every other week, and we follow up with nephrology and her pediatrician later this month. We are anxious to see how much weight she has gained. We know she is getting bigger, but we haven't had the opportunity to weigh her recently.

  1. Yay Lucy! No more nose tube! :)

    BTW, Carol asked if you were going to be at knitting, she has some diapers that her grand-daughter outgrew, I think she said they were size 2 or 3? Oh and if you're interested we're having a craft and movie event at the Whittaker Library on Saturday, I think it's at either 2 or 3 pm and we're watching Duck Soup. :)

  2. Hey Jen! I am glad Lucy has gotten her feeding tube out. Is the church the same one that you were married in?? It looks familiar!! I am glad you have Lucy on the road to raising money for type 1 diabetes. I hope all is well with you!!
