Her first Thunderstorm at home
And she sleeps right through it for a record sleeping period. Seriously loud thunder.....nothing. My dog is more scared.
7lbs 7.5 ozs for last nights weigh in.
She is on par since the oxygen shift for 1 to 1.5 ozs every two days. I do believe that this might increase next week as she has tended to go through spurts after changes.
Yes, it is 4 AM, preparing for a feeding. We have a problem with our frozen milk supply...she won't drink it. I mean literally, she can be hungry, you give her the thawed, prepared mix using frozen milk......nothing NOTHING but anger and spit and fight!! She does not like the taste of it. Switch immediately to mix using fresh or refrigerated milk, drinks the whole bottle. SO, besides figuring out how much frozen she will tolerate to be mixed with the fresh, we have a lot of milk that she might not drink. It does smell different..and mainly it smells like the sterile plastic tubes the hospital gave us.
Another new thing of hers is stimulus. She has to have it in some sorts when she is in her "feel good" time. That time is about 1 hour to 1.5 hours after a feed, Prevacid still within a 9 hour window, (speaking of that window...it exists, when you are about 2-3 hours til next dose, she is cantankerous and appears to be hurting from the reflux as she can be....1.5 hours after dose til about 9 hours....wonderful.)..anyway in this "feel good" time, she has to have a you, a mobile, her floor gym something, or she is a talking. And by talking I mean she gives a lot of new sounds. She seems to be practicing.
All in all, she is growing and needing less and less oxygen. Sometimes she pulls the prongs from her nose and we don't know when it happened and no alarms have went off since we went to the pulmonary doctor. Not even false ones. Hmmm. It seems her body has learned to breathe a little deeper to give her what she needs.
Spit ups are very rare, they happen when she just freaks out(outside the FG window) or when she chokes. Yes, she sometimes wants to feed so badly she takes the first sips before preparation. We have tried to show her the bottle and get her to prepare and say Ba Ba. She will stare at you doing all this and then not say a word.
She also is very poor at mowing the lawn or taking out the trash. She does not pick up after herself NOR does she change clothes after slobbering on them. She is not doing her chores, I will have a talk with her in the morning and fix this.
(Doesn't that last bit seem like something I will be writing in about 9 years.......scary)
Oh well, going to nap.
On that subject, you can tell your body needs sleep like ALL The TIME! It just does not get enought deep sleep and as you read, sleep is very important for all kinds of health reasons. I think once she sleeps through the night, my body will start sleep walking every 3 hours.
