She seemed to be a little more congested today then before so just to be safe the Pediatrician ordered some microbiology tests to rule out any sort of infection/bacteria. We are waiting on the results of the cultures and probably won’t be making any more changes to her feed until we know what’s going on with her cold. The poor little thing was pretty “pukey” for most of the day and we don’t want to do anything to make her any more uncomfortable.

Tomorrow is the day Jason and I learn to put in Ali`s feeding tube. Jason is totally okay with it but I’m terrified! I wish it hadn’t come to this but I’m willing to do what I have to do to get my baby home. Never in a million years would I have thought that I`d be learning this particular skill in order to take my beautiful girl home.
