We have definitely had a very busy week. Bianca went in for a weight check on Monday, weighing in at 4lbs and 8oz. That was her first real gain since she’s been home from the hospital. We were very excited about this. After returning from the doctor in the morning though, Bianca started throwing up, and it was a lot! So she went back to the doctor Monday afternoon, this time she had actually gained an ounce (even while throwing up). Weight was 4lbs and 9oz. The doctor was concerned that she might have a urinary tract infection, so he put in a catheter and tested her urine. That came back clean, no infection. So then he had us take her over to the lab to have blood work done. That was horrible, watching them stick a needle in her poor little arms. All the labs came back normal though, so the doctor diagnosed her with just a stomach virus. She went back to the doctor on Tuesday morning, because she was vomiting again, and low and behold she had gained another ounce – now at 4lbs 10oz. He is still convinced she just had a bad stomach virus. By Wednesday she seemed to be doing much better, and is finally able to eat and keep down the food. We’ll be taking her back to the doctor on Monday for her 1 month checkup – I certainly hope she’s put on even more weight by then. The doctor had me wait to start supplemental feedings since she was throwing up – and since she gained 2 ounces in 2 days (which is wonderful), he’s going to have me wait until we see how she gains by Monday.
