Holy Weight Gain Batman


Another pretty good week for me (thank you Lord). As of today, I am 5lbs 12oz - I know, wow, right? I have to be honest, a couple of these ounces may be buildup because I haven't had a bowel movement in 5 days, but glycerin suppository to the rescue today. I feel sorry for whoever my nurse is this evening. My doctors are not worried about it, they say it happens sometimes. Mommy is a little anxious because she thinks it may be stuck in my little hernia. Although she thinks she is a doctor now, she's not really, so we'll take their word for it. The eye doctor came back last Friday and my eye test results improved, so he won't check again for 2 weeks and hopefully we can dodge having to get the laser surgery. I've been taking my bottle feeds pretty well and I am taking a bottle at every other feeding. My breathing is steady, but we did have a minor set back after I received my immunizations. I had a fever and wasn't feeling well, so they had to bump me up to 5 liters for a few days. I am back on 4 liters now, but they are going to extend my steroid doses a few days just to see if we can get some more improvement. I'm thinking it won't be too much longer now, but we're just taking it one day at a time.
