On Wednesday the doctors decided to place a feeding tube down Lynnea's nose to make sure she's getting enough food because she is not getting enough from her bottle. She still has the tube and she continues to only eat about half of what they want her to from a bottle. Everything else seems to be healing nicely, and at this point the only thing that is really preventing her from coming home with us is her eating. The problem appears to be that she gets too tired to finish her bottle, so she falls asleep and looses interest in eating. Because there is no way to predict when she will start to eat the amounts that she needs, there is no talk of any sort of discharge date at this point. She has been in the hospital for two weeks now, and we are all anxious to get home and get back to some sort of routine. I miss being at home with my two girls. I miss Ashlyn a lot, and I'm sure she misses being at home with Mommy and Daddy as well, even though today when she came to visit us at the hospital, she refused to give me hugs and kisses.
