Sugar and Spice, and Rectal Dilations

A couple of days ago Rory started on feeds of Alimentum formula. They started at 5 milliliters every three hours, then ratcheted up by 3 ml every 12 hours. She's currently at 14 ml. She'll max out at 66 ml and hold there. Math says that's another eight and a half days of this. Another eight and a half days here, at the very least. Math is honest, that must be why nobody likes him.

Her stomach girth has been looking good, and shows no sign of increase. The last x-ray I heard about showed a hint of distention, but nothing too worrisome yet. They're performing enemas again, every 12 hours. At least twice, she had tiny stools after the enemas. This morning, they dilated her rectum and she stooled. It doesn't sound like there's much technology or science behind the dilation process, so the image your mind conjures is probably accurate.

Still no word from the pathologists, maybe they can't find anything wrong. I'm okay with that. We have pretty much run out of 'good' diseases anyway. So maybe it's just a case of a lazy bowel, you know these kids today have no work ethic.
