Day 83 of Life - September 9th

At bath time last night, little Sha weighed 2405 g, which means that he has lost 25 g since his last weigh-in. This is likely a more accurate picture of his weight, as he has, hopefully, gotten rid of most of the fluid in his lungs. The staff has also started him back on Aldactazide, the less harsh diuretic, to help prevent the collection of fluid in his lungs. However, he is still over the 5 lb mark (5.302 to be exact)!!!

He does look a lot better than he has in awhile...although he never actually looks BAD...cuz he's the cutest baby EVER!!! I stopped in to see him yesterday and he is definitely more awake and alert than I have seen him in awhile! Ma and Pa have really noticed a difference. So, hopefully, this will help him in his oral feeds!

Pa had to work today and is having a rest. He'll pick up Ma at RMH on his way to the hospital after nursing handover...so that they can both spend time with the boy.

    Ma, Pa & Sha...

    Just to let you know, we are still thinking of you! We are amazed everyday how Sha progresses and seems to jump every hurdle facing all of you. You have had a lifetime of worry in such a short time span...hopefully the boy will go easier on you in his teenage years to make up for the grief you are going through now!

    Way to go little one! Can't wait until the posting reads "Hometime!"
