Thursday

Some of you in the States aren't quite there yet, but over here it's Thursday morning. I'm up after the 6am meds and feeding, and am getting ready for the day for when the girls wake up. (I may also lay down a bit if they keep sleeping this way!)

A few more of Mira's lab results from yesterday have come in, and one of them that is an indicator for re-feeding syndrome has shown a slight drop (not what we want.) At this point, our plan is to continue moving forward with the plan (which yesterday involved a change of formula from the one we were given at the orphanage to the one they told us previously she was using at the orphanage - really, I think they use what they are given at the orphanage. Some food is better than no food!) This new formula has a bit more sodium and also a bit more of the phosphorus that we want to see come up.

At the moment, we do not think we're in an emergency situation that needs to be dealt with her. Adam does want to run one more short panel of blood work tomorrow (Friday) morning so we can have a better picture of where she is before we fly on Saturday, but also think we can hold out until we get to the States. He is going to use my computer today to do a write-up for us to have at the emergency department of our hospital in the States when we get home.
