Weight gain

Our home-help nurse came by again last night. Apparently the cardiac team were not happy that she left without a weight.

The scale was set out and Wren was unwrapped in all his glory. He weighed 4.260kg a weight gain of 230g since discharge while we need to gain 25g a day. On the basis of this good news I am "allowed" to replace one ng-tube feed with a BF. This brings me to 4 BF / 4 NG feeds.

The next checkup is on Friday morning, the day Mum leaves (weep).

It wasn't such an easy night last night. Wren wanted to nurse every 2 hours and grunted a lot between times. Josh managed to sleep through it but I will definitely need a nap - possible today because Frost is BACK AT SCHOOL!

The poor guy had to be pulled from bed. The alarm didn't stir him at all. As I put breakfast in front on him he asked "is it still the night?" He is indignant that Wren gets to "stay up late" and now Wren is allowed to sleep in too? Hopefully much fun will be had seeing his friends again and perhaps bedtime will be a bit smoother for both of them tonight.
