Growing boy?

Tonight Carter's nurse weighed him three times and got three different weights ranging from 2130 to 1980. His bed has been unreliable at best in determining his weight over the past week and a half. He will get a new bed tonight and she will reweigh him. Either way, the doctor wasn't satisfied with his weight and decided to up his calorie supplement by 50% going forward. He should start getting heavier more quickly. She wants at least 10 grams a day from him. I wish someone expected me to gain baby fat on a daily basis and was disappointed if it didn't happen!

Carter got his last dose of caffeine tonight; he's had them since birth to help with bradys. This is a sign of him getting older.

We have a theory about the fluid on his head that seems to be supported by the abstract provided by Carter's doctor. The monitors that they placed on his head while still in the womb seem to have caused this condition in the other case studies we read about. The encouraging thing about this similarity is that those cases resolved themselves within 5 to 9 weeks. Yep, still freaked out. Not as bad though.

He had a great day today and will continue to do so tomorrow.

Until then...
