2nd January 2009

Our baby is now weighing in at 1350gms and growing quite nicely. She has tripled her birth weight and we have nearly reached 9 weeks. I can’t believe it’s been that long. It seems like only yesterday I gave birth to her.
As I had said on Monday she was a bit unwell so today she was having a blood transfusion. It had finished but the were keeping the iv line in her arm incase she needed some more blood or some medication.
I got another cuddle today and she was quite unsettled so we had the dummy on hand to give her. I think she wanted a feed because they have been stopped. Her output into her stoma bag was too much so they needed to stop feeds for 12 hours. They are going to try her on the special baby formula they have there to see if that makes any difference. Mr. Pringle will reassess after that to see what he is going to do regarding closing her stoma up. We can’t get it closed up if it’s not working properly otherwise her tummy will be back where we started. It’s always 1 step forward and 3 steps back. But it seems as though we are always on that 3rd step backwards.
