We had our appointment this past Monday with the Nutrition doctor, and are pleased to say that weight concerns have been lifted! Caitlyn put back on the 1.5 lbs that she lost after surgery, plus an additional pound!!!!!! That's a 2.5 lb increase in 3 1/2 weeks! That sits her steady at 5% for BMI, according to the BMI calculator. So for now, we will continue with her normal diet and hope that she stays at a healthy level of increase! We are armed with calorie adding recipe's in the event that her growth slows again. We will continue to watch, and make sure she continues to put on weight as she gets taller, but for now there is no need to do Pediasure or pack her food with fatty, calorie adding food. This is hopefully good news for me too! The idea of adding calories to her food is hard, because extra calories is the last thing mommy needs!
We go back to the Neurologist on January 9th. We will be sure to update after that appointment. I will, of course try my hardest to update before that! Caitlyn's grandma and I will be taking her to the Parent-2-Parent holiday party this weekend. I am excited to do that! Hopefully she will like Santa! We will see.
