Grandma's Update

Emma went to the doctors today and finally passed her birth weight! She now weighs 7 # 8 oz.! Amy and I were very happy! It was especially good news since Amy has been very sick for the last couple of days and has been worried about Emma getting enough to eat! We were very happy that she gained weight--the doctor wanted to see her gain more.

Everything the doctor checked out on Emma was just great today! She said that her color looked good (not jaundiced!) and she was at all the milestones. We are so happy that she is doing so well.

Amy is not doing so well, however! Her doctor suspects some kind of infection. She is just waiting for the lab results to get back. In the meantime, she is restricted to what she can eat, so right now she is hungry and weak! She is trying hard to eat high calorie food, but it can't be too solid (she has mainly had gatorade, water, popcicles (sp?), yogurt). Today the pediatrician said now was the time to have ice cream! We hope tomorrow brings some good news from the doctor! Or at least a cure!
