Green Beans

Lyla was suppose to be discharged yesterday, however, she decided to run a fever, so they are keeping. They did more cultures, so far negative.

While here, some good things have happened.  They decreased Lipids to 3 days a week, increased TPN so she is gaining weight again, and we started baby food.

Short Bowel Syndrome babies have difficulty breaking down/absorbing starches (cereals, peas, potatoes, corn, etc) and sweets (fruits). We are starting with green beans, squash, carrots, and even meats. 

 So we started with green beans

Then carrots, she does ok. She swallows some of it,
 but she figured out how fun it is to spit while eating :p  we have speech theraphy at home, so im not worried.
