Olivia, Memaw, and I went to her normal clinic visit yesterday.
She was up to 26 lbs 13 oz. and 32.3 inches (88 % weight for length, I think). I have had her down to 120-180 ml at night only for overnight tube feedings. The docs were impressed that I had her down to that little. So the decision was made to trial her without the tube. YAY!!!!!! Now I hope it doesn't backfire and she goes on a feeding strike.
The bad news is that I have to take her back in a month to make sure she holding her ground. I could really use that 2 months that I'm use to in order to get her on track with eating like normal folks. I know she is going to lose some (possibly a lot) of weight now that we have pulled the tube at least until we get her adjusted. I don't think a month is a long enough time frame to make a judgement call on this. =/ But they weren't going to let us pull it unless we agreed to come back in a month. /sigh
I tried to get the nutritionist to tell me how much would be an acceptable loss if a loss did happen and she wouldn't give me any sort of figure. I asked her twice. =/ The only thing any of them really said was "don't stress about it". Yeah, right! *rolleyes*
