We just didn't know...

... how many calories our poor Peanut was losing with her vomiting!

I took Maggie to the pediatrician this morning. She has been congested for a few days, and unfortunately, it seems to make the gagging/wretching worse. So we called the surgeon, who told us to get Maggie checked out with our regular pediatrician. The doctor said that Maggie does not have any lung involvement, and also does not have ear infections. Right now, it just seems to be nasal congestion. We'll treat it with a humidifier and keeping her elevated, as there isn't much else to do. Since it is more than likely viral, she won't need antibiotics at this point. (And it's important to note that she doesn't SEEM sick to me. Just really really stuffy...)

I'm thankful that it's nothing more serious-- we really have managed to dodge alot of bullets when it comes to Peanut's compromised immune system! Knock wood, she hasn't been sick since we brought her home last year!

But the very best news of all is that Maggie weighs 15 POUNDS now!!!!!! I simply cannot believe it! She was around 13 pounds, 10 ounces just before her surgery, so having the Nissen done to stop the vomiting seems to be the right thing! I am relieved. I guess we just never understood quite how much she was throwing up. I'm so happy that it seems we are on our way to having a nice fat baby on our hands!

And so, Faithful Reader, I leave you with our old cheer from NICU days, when Magoo was only 2 pounds: GO, FAT GIRL, GO!!!
