Day One

Oscar is happy.  Smiling, playing, bright eyed and bushy tailed.  But he’s barely eating.

It is worrisome to say the least.

We have a lot of ground to cover to get back to his weight of last Tuesday.  As of yesterday he was 15.2 down from 16.1 one week ago.  He barely eats an ounce every four hours.  I have called the feeding specialist twice today and have yet to speak to her.  Her assistant assures me she will call today.  It is imperative that she see him this week as part of this issue is just Oscar, but it is being exacerbated by his illness and the net is the he is barely taking in any food.  He does better with solids, so we are pushing those as much as we can.  But he needs fluids or he will end up back in the hospital.

I am anxious.  On top of this Colton has been running 102-103 each night at bedtime since Saturday.  I truly hope Spring will bring us better luck in the health department.
