For the last week and a half, you have not been feeling very well. Even the first time we took you to see Dr. Rose, when you were only five days old, you sounded really congested. Well, over the weekend, you got even worse and you also had a little cold in your eye, so Mommy called Dr. Rose on Monday morning, May 2nd, and luckily they were able to get us in that day.
Since you already had your two week appointment scheduled for the following Thursday, they just did everything when we went in on Monday so we wouldn't have to come back three days later.
Here are your 2 Week (really 11 day) Stats:
Weight: 5 lbs. 13 ozs. (3rd Percentile)
Length: 19" (5th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 34 cm (8th percentile)
Obviously, you are just a tiny little thing but great things really do come in small packages!
They also pricked your poor little heel again to do your PKU screening.
Dr. Rose looked you over and said that you look really good and healthy. He is a little concerned about your weight gain being so little. He had us schedule another appointment to bring you back in the following week to have you weighed again. He also prescribed you a power booger sucker (BBT machine) and also put you on prescription eye
drops for your little eye cold.
I absolutely hate seeing you sick. It breaks my heart. Especially laying in bed and listening to you struggling to breathe at night. I would take it all away if I could. We sure hope you get feeling better soon Sweet B!
