Clinic visit and more

So today, early in the morning, we had Olivia's follow-up appointment for the docs to see how she is doing without the NG tube in. We knew she would lose some without it, but wasn't sure if it would be so much that they would want to put the tube back in or not. Last Month's weigh in was 26 lbs 13 oz and today's was 26 lbs 9 oz. Height last time 83cm vs 83.7 cm this time. 

Even though she lost weight and gained height, her weight vs height was still around 82% (prev 88%). Since she still has a good "cushion", they decided to keep the tube out. However, since she lost weight, we still have to go back next month instead of two months. They also want to try an appetite stimulant to increase that hunger feeling that she is finally really starting to feel and understand.

Overall a " Merry Christmas" appointment, especially considering that last year at this time she was in the hospital getting her first NG tube placed.

After the appointment, Memaw helped me finish a little Christmas shopping. I think I'm done with the girls except for stocking stuffers. 

Later, this evening the whole family plus Memaw went to see the "Dancing Lights" at Jellystone Park. So worth the $25 per carload! Especially, hearing your 2 yo "ooh" and "aah" over the lights and the older sissies pointing everything out to her.
