(what the heck is that you just put on my hand dad?)I apologize for the lapse in postings this week. I had a little scare when i thought i had lost the camera...but have no fear...the camera just fell victim to my awesome organization skills. (Lynn did you spit your coffee on your keyboard when you read that?)
This has been a great week for Olivia. The always amazing and ever changing Olivia has grown to 1115 grams (2lbs 7oz). To you and I that sounds great b/c it is going in the right direction but to the doctors it is not going in that direction quite fast enough. She is currently less then 3% on the growth chart ...
To help her get there faster they have now tried twice to supplement her feeds by adding formula and calories to the breastmilk. Both times this has made Olivia's stomach upset. What follows is.... no feeds for a day and an iv put back in w/ iv fluids. I believe the next step is to try adding just lipids (fats) to the milk. Hopefully she will tolerate it better and she'll start putting on the weight they want to see.
Speaking of "see"ing.... Mike said that no one logs on here to read and that i should hush up and just post the pictures. Soooooo....here are some new pics....
