Update

Well, day two is now past, and Gwenn is sleeping comfortably for another 12 hours of overnight feeding. She started out yesterday at 20.2 kg, and today at weigh-in was 20.1 kg. I'm not sure if this is normal. Tomorrow is the day that we are anticipating seeing a weight gain, so prayers from all are appreciated. If she doesn't gain, then they will start to investigate things in the metabolic range, as well as absorbtion issues...

We saw a feeding specialist today - I had never heard of that, nor of Feeding Therapy! Why, with all my reading, did I not stumble across it, I can't say. But Gwenn will qualify for feeding therapy. Children's tells us the best therapists are at Valley Medical in Renton, so I've already looked them up and will phone tomorrow for an appointment. It was very interesting watching the therapist work with Gwenn - I learned some new things today that hopefully will translate at home.

I'll update more in the morning - I'm tired and ready for bed....
