Well, Briana is still doing the same as before, which neither of us are complaining about! She is still doing well. As of today she weighs 5 lbs 6.6 oz. and is 18 inches long, a big girl! She has also developed a bit of a reflux problem. This is where she spits up but it is almost like heart burn so quite uncomfortable. She has this problem while they are tube feeding and after her trying to feed orally. It's just started to be treated today with pepsid.

When she has reflux it's terrible to watch. Briana balls up and starts to cry until it passes and then calms down until it starts to bother her again. It's just frustrating because there is nothing I can do about. I just hold her and trying to move her about and try to calm her. The doctors assure us that Briana will out grow it over time and it is something that she can come home with.

We're still working on transferring Briana to a closer hospital. Rush-Copley was the hospital that we preferred Briana to go to because of the fact that it had the same doctors and they already knew our situation. However, the insurance company informed us that the hospital was out of our network which is interesting because this is the sister hospital to Lutheran General. So, the insurance company is going to look further into the hospital and see if they can fine a loop hole. If not they're looking for other hospitals to transfer her to that will be closer to us.

Other than that Briana is being a great little girl. She's quite active when she's awake and it's always a great time being with her!
