My little one has gained a little and maintained weight...we are doing okay. We don't have to go back to GI until November. First time ever not having to go almost monthly! Off to the ENT tomorrow for her tonsils. At least one down. I am so happy she maintained weight and gained 6 grams a day the last 53 days. Yeah! Tons of detail to it...but the important thing is she is maintaining and going up on her growth chart. We are off the charts with weight and height BUT we have a slope going UP we were going down. Now our slope for weight and height is going UP steady and slowly but good for Bai! I cry, she cries, we both hate GI because it is always bad news. Today was good. I am thankful for that! No hospital stay for Bai!
Now off to the ENT again tomorrow. We are most likely getting her tonsils removed. Due to sleep apnea and large tonsils. Affecting her breathing (since birth) but I guess I was trying to pretend it wasn't happening since she has been through so much! We will see what the ENT says. She stops breathing during the night or any sleep times. She does this all night long. He said it could affect her eating too. They could be in the way and she could eat faster and maybe gain weight without them. We will see. I would rather not take them out BUT if she is not breathing all night and waking up she never gets REM sleep and getting a good night sleep. She snores too like a 400 pound man so that probably isn't normal for a 23 pound tiny girl...
Today she is 23 pounds 4 ounces, and around 32 inches (I think). I worry so much about weight I tend to forget the height. I just make sure she is going up! She is my petite baby. Doing well in progressions too across the board! Oh our miracle million dollar baby and counting...
