Well it's been over a week since we've been home from the hospital, gee I wish that the children's ward at Keneperu was still open.
I actually thought that on the weekend just gone we would be heading back in there, but she has come right and is slowly getting back to her normal self.
She is due to have her hernia operation on the 22nd of July, which isn't far away now. Fingers crossed she keeps well in between otherwise it can affect her operation.
She is starting to want to play with toys now, well toys she can hold. She loves playing on the floor with her play gym. It's great because it has different toys attached to it and there are parts on it that make crinkly noises. She is a bit behind in her development, well everything really. Her feeding has gone back downhill since she has been unwell. She hasn't wanted to drink her bottle for over a week so everything has been going down the feeding tube. I think she is quite used to the fact that she can just lie there and she gets food. She lost a bit of weight in the hospital so she is still very tiny. She is currently weighing around 4kg, so yeah about the size of a newborn, well she actually weighs what my daughter Nimeesha weighed when she was born. I don't mind her being so small, it's just her development can be affected by her size. She isn't eating solids yet maybe we should give her some taro and coconut cream and she might fatten up!!!
