Finally!!

Lucy's backpack is finally here!! When the FedEx man dropped it off everyone cheered, we were so happy to not have to lug that huge case around anymore!

We started trying to move up Lucy's rate and didn't get far. I tried 31 and at the end of the day she complained a few times that her belly hurt but I thought we could keep going. I tried 32ccs the next day and within an hour she was saying her neck hurt, her back hurt, her belly hurt, and her head hurt. She got REALLY irritable and I realized that we just couldn't keep going at that rate.
So I backed it down to 30ccs an hour and now we are diluting her formula down to 26 cal an ounce at 32 ccs an hour. So far its working VERY well. She's been running this way for a few hours now and so far no complaints!
We are praying we can continue to move her rate up enough to compensate for the diluted calories.
Thank you so much for checking in on Lu!! We appreciate all the prayers so much!
