7th January 2009

Well our little girl has now reached 1475gms. That is really big to us considering she only weighed 440gms when she was born. We are now on day 68.
We finally met up with the surgeon, Mr. Pringle and yes he wants to close her stoma back up to get her gut working properly. He does have concerns that it may not work or it may leak, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it. We trust him as he is an excellent surgeon. If all goes well he is looking at having her surgery done this Friday. If not it will be next week, but he wants it done sooner rather than later.
We also met up with Dr Dixon the genetics lady. She is concerned that her upper arms and her upper legs are short. She should have done what they call catch up growing by now. That means she should be weighing what the other babies are. She has put on weight but not enough. But she has had things happening that have affected this. For instance her stoma, her heart and everything else she has had. So the plan is to have a skeletal study done when she reaches her due date which is the 2nd of Feb.
