Pippi is one tired little girl.
Part due to her preemie status.
Part due to her anemia.
So in an effort to have her gain weight and get strong, the doctors decided to put in a feeding tube through her nose yesterday.  She has been on an IV until now, and hasn’t needed to eat, but now it is an essential part of her getting strong and getting the heck out of dodge.  It is a means to an end, and although I wasn’t that excited about the tube, it certainly has made her eating an easy experience.
And easy is just what this little trooper needs right now.
