Loren:

Thank you for sharing with us your daughter, and her pictures.  She is totally 
adorable.

Regarding the nasal type congestion, Pamela was like that as well and in the 
end it was her heart, she had a PDA which they fixed and now she's fine.  
However, Pamela doesn't eat orally she is still tube fed due too increased risk 
of apnea and dsyphasia.  The gassy stomach and solid stools sound like a 
constipation problem, which Pamela has always had a problem with as well.  At 
the moment we use prune juice too keep stools soft and in the beginning I had 
to digitally stimulate her to get her to have a bowel movement.  Now we use 
either senekot or suppositories.

Hope this helps.
