New day, same story

Faye’s doing about the same, no improvement. We are going to try daycare on Monday, and just tell them to feed her on demand. Right now she is afraid to have any food/drink near her mouth. The doc said it’s behavioral because her tummy’s been hurting her so long (plus our force feeding probably didn’t help). So she only drinks when she gets REALLY hungry, about 2x a day, and she’ll drink 4 oz those times, and only an ounce (if that) the rest of the time. But she’s waking up at night too, so when you add those ounces in, she’s averaging 12 oz a day. Pretty sad, but she’s not dehydrated yet. At least her fever is gone. Hopefully it’s just a matter of time now before her appetite outgrows her anxiety.

    Well, the good news: as a result of her not eating much, her nose is no longer orange. It’s back to its normal color. YEAH!!!
    She is so cute and so sad looking – poor baby.
    Wish I were there to hold her.
    Love, Grammy
