Lilah continues to do well with her g-tube. They have taken off the venting port of the g-tube which would allow her to push out bubbles of air instead of spit up or burp. The fear was that she would be uncomfortable without the venting and so far she has proven she can handle it without discomfort.
She is down to one hour feeds and they are going to attempt to drop it down to 45 minute feeds some time today with the understanding that if it isn't comfortable for her tummy, they will go back to the one hour feeds.
The g-tube site looks much better. The infection is hardly visible. She will have two more days of antibiotics and then could be switched to oral antibiotics to take care of any lingering infection we can't see.
Many nurses have told us she is "a different baby" then they are use to taking care of. She is happy and easy to sooth. Yesterday when Dave called the nurse held the phone up to Lilah's ear so he could say hello and she turned toward the phone and started babbling!

They put a bow on her IV.
