Ally is doing well. She is tolerating her nighttime feedings like a champ. She gets about an ounce an hour pumped directly into her tummy. It seems to be helping her daytime appetite as well. She is eating more than she normally does while she is on the medicine. (It is still not as much as a normal 2 year old should be eating.) She is still taking Tylenol every 4 hours. When she wakes up in the morning and after her naps she is very stiff and it takes her about 20 minutes to be able to move around like normal. When we pick her up now she bends her legs so her knees are touching us and not her belly. The surgeon said it would feel to Ally like someone keeps punching her in the stomach. She said it would be about 5 days before it felt better. Today is day 5!
