Ailyn has had a lot to say the last few days! She coos away. It's the best sound EVER! We stop whatever we are doing and give her all our attention. While taking the above pictures for Aliyn's Godmother she was telling me a fun story. I think she was telling me how much she loves her strawberry hat. I am so excited it fits! Thank you Mrs. Wagner :) :) Seems like forever ago that you sent it us.
Ailyn had her GI appointment today. I think it was helpful. The doctor wants us to split her Previcid, so she will get it morning and night. She also recommended OT for oral stimulation. I have been saying she has a weak suck all along. She barely lets my milk down when she nurses, she doesn't take a binki well, unless I hold it in her mouth, she will get tired while drinking her bottle and just play with the nipple. I am calling her therapist tomorrow to get her some help.
The doctor asked what our biggest concern was. Ailyn for the most part is a great eater, but there are some feedings that will take her over 45 minutes to finish. With her size, she can't afford to lose calories. Her pediatrician stressed that he is not worried about her weight, as long as she gains weight at her weight checks. So we are going to up her calories to 26 calories every feeding. AND, we got the OK to let her sleep 4 hours during the night. YIPPPPEEEE! I don't want to ruin a good thing! She hates to be woken up at the 12am feeding.
Thank you for all the prayers for Gabriella, she is improving! Keep the prayers coming!!
