Lucy is doing pretty well. She's up to 42cc's an hour but I may have to pull back. I am watching her cautiously and waiting. She keeps complaining her belly hurts, but its nothing that seems to hold her back. Shes finally at a rate that is getting her more than what she was getting before the tube, so that is an improvement.
We're also battling some granulation tissue around her tube site(basically is extra tissue that grows around the site in an attempt to heal). When we saw Dr G a few weeks ago he burned it with some zinc oxide and prescribed a steroid cream for her but it still just keeps coming back!
Lucy continues to do well with not stealing food. I think by offering her a reward I replaced the "loss" of food with the "gain" of a prize.
As always, thank you for checking in on Lucy!
