Finally Eating...

Matthew finally got to eat today. He's getting roughly 3 ounces of food every 3 hours, but it's being thickened with a calorie free thickener so he's only getting about 2.5 ounces of actual food. His Doctors want him to be fed in smaller, more frequent amounts to reduce his reflux. Hopefully he'll still be able to gain weight at this pace. There has been a lot of discussion of more tests the past few days and no talk of when he'll get to go home so we don't know what the game plan is at this point. We wouldn't be surprised if they told us Matthew was going home tomorrow and we wouldn't be surprised if they said they were going to keep him for another week to run tests.

Amy is still feeling pretty miserable. She's on her second round of antibiotics for what was originally diagnosed as a sinus infection. We're now wondering if it's some sort of viral infection instead. Either way she just isn't able to get the rest she needs to get over it because she spends so much time at the hospital.

Amy's Dad was admitted to the hospital last night with chest pains. Thankfully his stress test came back ok so they sent him home today. There was some joking about letting him share a room with Matthew, but the hospital wouldn't allow it without the right coupon.
