Day 22: Weight gain regime


With another 10 grams down. Dad had a lengthy talk with the registrar today. Doctor explained to the dad what they are doing and what will be the next steps in case I continue my slide. I am already having milk fortifiers as I explained these are added calories and nutrients to my feed. Now they have started me on additional calcium every six hours. They are increasing my feed volume every day and they will increase it until it is full volume for my size. He explained why they can't put me on full volume straight away as that might cause more complications if I didn't tolerate it. So all in all, it was all weight gain session. My mum told me that most off the outside world have the problem other way around.
My mom had cuddle with me again today. Jasmine reminded mom that dad should have the cuddle first. But she explained that she had to go to express milk. As usual my sats went down and after 15 minutes nurse advised mom to put me back in. So same old story with dad continued. But once mum and Jasmine were gone I got my dad's total attention.
After coming back Jasmine told me her story that how she went to school dressed as a butterfly. It was mini beast day in her school and everybody in her class were dressed up as different creatures.
