Drip...drip...drip... Let the feast begin!

Using the now in place N/J tube, Kenzie has begun receiving formula. The amount is giving so slowly it will take 6 hours to give 6 oz. Given a straw, Kenzie would ordinarily suck that amount up in 6 seconds! The law of 6's. But, as the GI doc said this morning..."If the stomach is left alone for too long, it grows lazy and stupid" forgetting it's natural role in life. Tomorrow she will slowly begin to eat by mouth, waking the stomach for the first time since her surgery 14 days ago.
