I ran Ty into the hospital for a weight check and blood test. First, his hemoglobin is still maintaining at 9.3. His last transfusion was August 14. We hope to see that number start to increase. I won't have him rechecked unless he is symptomatic of it dropping until he sees the hematologist on October 7. It feels so good to wait longer between blood tests. He smiled and cooed at the tech today....she was new and couldn't believe he was so pleasant about it. Then, we went upstairs for a weight check. We saw our delivery nurse, Dr. Allen and some of the other ladies that took such great care of us when he was born. He weighed 10lbs 1ounce!!!! That is a 14 ounce increase in four days! He is taking in so much formula to make up for his weight loss. I called Dr. Rezaei for further instruction on this "supplementation". That is entirely too much weight gain in such a short time. We are going to wait out the weekend in hopes he levels off. We also have some tips for fortifying breast milk. That is the direction I would like to go with this and wish we'd given him another week or so of monitoring before we changed course.
