Eating...eating...eating

Peanugga's weight dropped this week...13lbs 4 ounces...2 ounce loss..........this makes me sad.  The Home Nurse said it was because last week she was here right after Madilyn's morning feed and that leads to an inaccurate weight gain so from now on she's coming before she gets fed in the morning.  Weight loss calls to the GI doctor also lead to increased feed amounts.  She now up to 100ml (3.38 ounces) 4 times per day.  That's an increase of an entire day feed since she was at 80ml 4 times per day.  That also means potentially huge weight gain next week...........and puking...lots of puking until she can tolerate them.

We went to feeding/speech therapy today and this was the first time Liz actually saw Madilyn eat and "play" with her food.  She was very excited because Madilyn doesn't hesitate to put her hands in her food or to get her face dirty trying to get it in her mouth.  Liz want us to be giving Madilyn table foods every time she gets her tube (bolis) feed during the day.  She says it will help her associate the food going into her mouth making her tummy full.....so we get messy four times a day starting now.  This could be lots of fun!!

The hubby and I took Madilyn to watch Auntie Shyanne's basketball game today, she was very excited.  She used to shut down right away in noisy environments but since the glasses she is completely in awe of everything going on.  It was cute cause when someone made a basket and everyone cheered Madilyn gets excited too.  It's nice to see such huge progress in areas like this, it's days like today that help me to realize just how far we've come in the past 6 months.

We have a big day tomorrow, the BHK home visitor is coming with the Early On therapists so they can coordinate what they work on with Madilyn and grandpa is going to be here to see what they all do with her.
Hopefully a good nap after therapy and then it's off to another basketball game and Saturday morning we leave for Shyanne's gymnastics meet in Wisconsin.  That means pool time for the kids Saturday night and hopefully a little relaxing after several busy days.  I won't post again until after we're home on Sunday so I hope everyone has a great weekend and that the weather gets a little warmer so we can take the stroller out.
