We had a rough day at the pediatrician, today. In spite of our best efforts, Lydie has only gained an ounce in three weeks. We’re now adding formula to her breastmilk to try to get more calories in her. We go back in a week and a half to check her weight. She is slowly becoming more symptomatic (slow weight gain, harder to breathe) due to her heart defects. The hope is that we can wait as long as possible for surgery so she can get bigger which makes things safer and easier, but if her symptoms continue to worsen, they’ll have to move the surgery up. So, extra prayers that baby girl can gain some weight and have the stamina she needs just to eat!
