Today is an exciting day BECAUSE... They are "increasing" my food PAST the point we were able to get "last" time before I quit "tolerating" my food all together. The small increase will put me at 80 per kilo, and in order to go home without IV TPN fluids, I need to be at 150 per kilo, so I am 1/2 way there. 150 is what I need to grow and get bigger. Once I am there and tolerating it, they can get this painful picc line OUT and I can go H-O-M-E. I am up 20 grams today, so I "officially" weigh: 3380 grams = 7 pounds 4 ounces. I am wearing "newborn" outfits and they fit pretty good. I am still refluxing, but I am swallowing it back down. I am on BOTH Zantac & Prevacid and I NEED them both to be a HAPPY CAMPER. My voice is still really soft and it's hard to hear me, but my mommy and the nurses keep a good eye on me. I seem to be bored. I am very strong and can hold my head up and if I grunt really hard, I try really hard to sit up when I am elevated in my crib. I miss my family very much and I cannot wait to go home where my brother and sister can entertain me. Keeping the faith for this... |
