Hold on to your hats folks. This is a pretty big deal update. The change in formula has been absolutely transformative. I am on day 4 and I feel like me again.
I spent an hour knitting yesterday and a half hour knitting today before I decided to write this post. And that was after running out to the pharmacy alone (David is feeling under-the-weather from a med change), where I made two additional stops and walked a couple of blocks. Which was after an hour and a half long telemedicine appointment.
David even said he felt like he had his Eva back.
The transformation has been like night and day. I was even able to up my feed to 27 for a few hours.
It is possible that this is a coincidence and I just hit a new nutrition threshold. So after a week or so of the new formula, I am going to go back to my old formula for a bit just to be sure. But the amount of progress I have made in just 4 days has me thinking that I have a formula change in my future.
I have already met with my nutritionist and she is totally on board. I will be sad to give up the easy supplemental nutrition of drinking my formula, but I have also had the best couple of eating days these last two days. Which means that with some careful pre-planning and understanding that some of my food will inevitably go to waste, I might be able to maintain good nutrition even as I ever-so-slowly increase the speed of my pump.
That’s its for now from the very rarely heard from Good News section of this site.
