The past 24 hours have shown huge progress! Yesterday Georgia was given the ok to drink seven ounces of water, I can assure you she enjoyed every drop! She also had a repeat ultrasound of her belly which showed everything is back to normal - liver size, flow within the right portal vein, no excess fluid in the tissue, such fantastic progress! Literally overnight her labs went from elevated to normal which allows us to take the next big step of re-introducing food and she is allowed to drink as much as she wants today. Georgia hasn't eaten in over three weeks, her nutrition has been going through her IV so her stomach literally has nothing in it. This will be a slow process as she has to prove she can eat and tolerate it before they will pull back on her IV nutrition which makes her feel full.
She is still really tired napping for several hours twice a day but when she's awake.. watch out! I can't tell you how amazing it is to see her back, my Georgia girl who has always been so full of life is laughing, talking, wiggling, waving and eating up every bit of attention that people are falling over themselves to give. We've had nurses, doctors, grandparents, other patients and parents all waving and smiling all so happy to see our girl.
I am so very very happy to see pictures of a smiling little girl and to hear everything is back omn track!! WIll keep up the prayers and healthy thoughts for all 3 of you. I'm hoping you will be home soon!! We miss you here on the block!
