Esophagram

 Lily had her esophagram today. It showed no leak and no major narrowing! That means she can start getting feeds through her gtube tonight. They will start her on a very low hourly rate,  and keep her on the IV nutrition temporarily. As they increase her rate of breastmilk,  they will decrease the TPN and lipids IV. It may take a few days to get up to her goal rate and off the TPN and lipids completely. 

She also did great during her CPAP breaks today,  and the plan is to take her off CPAP for the whole day tomorrow. Then they will put it on tomorrow night and if she's still doing good, off CPAP for good starting Thursday morning. Progress!

Happy to have the CPAP mask off!
