Last night Maddie really ate on some chips and M&Ms (daddy is obviously back on this diet). She didn't have any tummy pains until this morning, as is common. Mornings are usually the worst. Lab work is pretty much the same, and after discussions with her specialist we feel that she is slightly dehydrated and the increase in Sodium Chloride (Sodium being a base) will hydrate her, offset some of her acidosis, and overall make her 'feel' better. The current fluids she is on is a mixture of TPN (which is like the broke down nutrients your blood gets after food is digested) and Lipids (energy storing fats), so it's basically a meal in a can. This is how she can lack on hydration.
She is up this morning watching Nemo, talking about food, and is in a little discomfort but still hasn't needed any pain medicine.
