Eye Exam this morning went fine..
She is a little near-sight at the moment. That is to be expected, nothing out of the ordinary. She tolerated it fine and is actually watching cartoons right now very happy. Wanted to wait til the eye exam to update everyone.
The feedings are at about 70 cc's. She is taking them quite well, some are less some are a little more. We are adding in a little more formula to the mix to ween her to taking in formula. It is possible that we can start adding rice cereal back to the more concentrated formula and create a thicker product, as with breast milk, rice cereal breaks down and does not thicken as much. Also the more formula will digest more slowly, and could cause more rapid weight gain. Anything for that.
7lb 9 ozs as of Sunday morning. Next weigh in might not be until Wed or Thursday. She has her next Synagis shot for RSV on Thursday morning...that is another not so fun day coming up.
So we are to watch tracking with her eyes, be careful to watch for cross eyes and lazy eye. She does not appear to have those but we are to watch. Next appointment in 6 weeks.
After the shot, we have no doctor appointments until Jan 3rd when we go off oxygen. She has been off oxygen many times as we test her and a big test for some time and did just fine. She does not need it but we keep it for support at this moment. The pulse oximeter shows good reads and no problems. That is good to know, we are tracking when it is bad. One thing we can trend is that after eating, she is a little low when digesting. She has calmed down for us when this happens but now with the pulse ox, we can see why she is calmed down, she is digesting and using oxygen to do it.
So all in all, we are moving right along.
Be sure to go visit the new pictures section and get a behind the scenes look at the MANY pictures it took us to snap before getting the right one to pick for her Christmas picture. See her like you have never seen before, cranky and screaming.
