Day 55 of Life - August 12th
Well, several things have happened to the little one today. First of all, he is back on the Aladdin. He got "tired" this morning and they put him back on...so, "box face" is back. This is really not all that surprising and hopefully he'll be able to go back on HFO soon.
Also, Ma got to weigh him tonight, and she had to do it twice because the number was so unbelievable. However, she was able to confirm that the little Turkey now weighs in at 1600 g (3.527 lbs)! Now, the last time he was weighed, he was at 1460 g, which means that he has gained 140 g in two days!!! Even for him, this seems quite extreme. Ma and I suspect that he is retaining water again and we won't be surprised if he gets a dose of Lasix tomorrow.
Now, for the fun part. Ma and Pa got to give Sha his first bath tonight and were able to take many embarassing pictures of him! (Those will come in handy in the future!!!) It's nice because Ma and Pa are finally able to help with some of his care, which really helps in family bonding. Stayed tuned for the pics...although I will "alter" them until they can be rated "G"!!!
