All That Turkey Made Her Chubby

We couldn't have been happier to have Molly home in time for Thanksgiving. It made for an even nicer holiday.

Once a week is certainly not an acceptable quantity of posts, so I promise to do a better job. And don't forget, since Erin and I do not coordinate even a little bit, you can always check her CaringBridge site for updates as well.

At any rate, our visiting nurse came to the house on Thursday morning to check in and see how Molly was doing. We're happy to announce that on Thursday Molly weighed in at a whopping six pounds and fifteen ounces. You may recall that was her birth weight? So after three and a half months she is back to where she started. We always joked around that we'd throw a party when she got back up to 6.15, but we just had a big dinner instead. You know, since it was Thanksgiving and all.

The yesterday Molly went to her pediatrician and weighed in at seven pounds two ounces. A healthy increase after a big weekend of eating with the rest of us. She also got some shots, which she was not a huge fan of.

This morning she went to the cardiologist who said her lungs are clear and her heart sounds good. Her incision is healing nicely. Everyone is pretty happy with her progress.

Next step is going to be to change from an NG tube to a G tube. My understanding is that the G tube goes directly into her stomach rather than through her nose and down her throat. I'm sure she'll be happy about that. More to come when I figure out what all this means.
