Just hanging out

I don't really have anything interesting to share this morning, but our readers have come to expect updates, so here you go...

We're still in a holding pattern waiting for Tess' bowels to get going again. Heard a few farts last night and this morning and the doctors are loving that progress. Seriously, I almost expect them to cheer when I tell them that I heard a fart (from Tess).

Our main doctor team said they'd like to get Tess' NG tube out today. That would mean she'd get some breast milk again and that would make us happy.

Dr. Booker visited this morning to check on her hips which continue to look good.

Diaper changes still really upset Tess, but we're not sure if that's due to hip discomfort or abdomen discomfort. Either way, she absolutely hates them. We've been timing them with her occasional dose of morphine to make things easier on her.
