Feeding tube follies

Mina Brigitta woke up vomiting again this morning. They ramped up the rate of her feeding at about 10:00 last night, but I had noticed she already seemed kind of full around then. Turns out the nutritionist had recommended tapering off the feeding in the afternoon before ramping it back up at night, but the recommendation wasn't followed. She threw up a huge volume this morning as soon as she woke up, and of course her tube came up with it. They left it out all day hoping she would start eating again, but a bowl of Pirate's Booty wasn't quite enought to satisy them. Luckily, putting it back in went very smoothly this time.

Otherwise, everything went just fine today. She had a lot of energy for having a short night, and
Grandma and Grandpa had her up on the floor for half an hour today. Tonight she was wide awake until 11:00.
