Tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. baby Mercy will be having PEG tube put in her stomach. You can look it up on the internet, as I am too tired to explain what it is right now. She has not learned to "nipple" quite the way she needs to in order to receive enough nourishement to help her grow. This will allow her to be discharged in a couple of days. It is the least invasive of the two different tubes that are many times inserted. Pray all goes well. It is only a 15-20 minute procedure. Her MRI showed a "slight" improvement from the one she had two weeks ago and she has passed her hearing test. Her vision test was "borderline" and will be re-done in a couple months. Her seizures seem to be under control for now with the Keppra/phenobarbitol/atavan combo. She will go home with these three medications. She has gained a pound since her birth, and is doing well so far. We still have a long way to go!
