On Thursday Liam went through a little procedure: they replaced her J-tube with a new piece. It turned out that the first version never made it to its target - the intestines. The tube looped around in the stomach area. One theory os that this caused Liam the discomfort and vomiting on feeding attempts. So they fixed that. Now the J-tube really extends all the way to the intestines.
However, initial feeding attempts are still unsuccessful. One possibility is that Liam's body forgot how to absorb and process food and needs to re-learn these skills. I'm really hopeful this is the case.
Liam is somewhat uncomfortable at night. She needs "goodie" medication to help her sleep. Strangely, when the sun rises, she's quite again and catches on sleep with no pain control meds. Strange.
All the rest-of-her is/are pretty stable - not great, but stable: the urinary system, the kidneys, breathing, etc.
