Gabrielle had her PICC line placed yesterday and everything went good. We are now in the routine of waiting on the next dose of medicine, round of respirtory therapy, or next feeding. In between each of these we try to keeping Gabrielle entertained. We are still having issues with her gagging when we give her enzymes and I assume we will have the same issue when we try feeding her yogurt and solid foods. We have talked with the CF Doctors and dietitian about it and we are waiting for the GI doctor to come and see her.
The dietitian has set eating and weight gain goals which sound achievable and hopefully they will help us work with Gabrielle so we can meet them. The eating goals are solid foods, 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons of oil, 2 packets (1/4 teaspoon) of salt, and 24 oz Boost 1.5. Her weight gain goal is 1/2 ounce per day. We also have increased her enzymes to 4 capsuls prior to each feeding.
