We've started putting her in the exersaucer...she seems to like it....she just needs to figure out how to grab those cool things sticking up in her face :)Summer had her bi-weekly checkup today. She has now put on another pound in just two weeks! She is a healthy, 14 lbs. 12 oz. :) She has grown enough now to make it to the 50% for a 5 month old, which is her "corrected age". Not too shabby :)
With her huge weight gain and labs still looking great, they decided to try her off the Lipids again! She has been only running them 2 times a week, but NO times a week is so much better :) They feel she is getting enough of her fats from the formula she takes in....she has remained at 45 ML's per hour for about the last month and a half and is still gaining weight nicely. I know now she truly is a Cameron baby after all!
So, new regiment is 45 ML's of formula/hour, IV/TPN (without Lipids) 7 days a week (20 hours per day with a 4 hour break), and we can start adding Rice cereal to her diet :)
Next week Summer gets evaluated by a Therapy Center that comes to my house...she will start working on her fine/gross motor skills.....probably be walking before we know it!!
The taste test....now let's try it with the tongue....
That is so exciting!! Our kids never are in the 50th percentile and they are born late...lol
