Zoe spent some time this last week in Ann Arbor, hoping to lose her feeding tube. She has not been able to go through the night without an extra "meal," and doctors wanted to see if she was big enough to possibly handle it. So, out came the feeding tube, and the test was on.
A fasting test, actually. Zoe was supposed to go the better part of a day without eating, under careful watch, of course. But she only made it a few hours before her blood sugar level dropped. Crouchy? Oh yes! A hungry 3-yr. old isn't anyone you'd want to mess with:). Doctors decided she needed her meals, and will continue with the nightly feeding via the tube for a while longer.
So Zoe got to eat, and everyone was happy!
