So we've been home a few days now and are tryign to get back into a routine. Feeds are still sort of an issue for Zoe, she can't tolerate the volume she could before. So we now do 6 feeds a day of 105 mls and do a continuous feed at night to try and get her volume up. Even with all that she still isn't at the caloric level that she needs so she isn't gaining any weight. The day before she has surgery she weighed 16 pounds 8 ounces and today she got weighed and she weighs 15 pounds 13 ounces. Hopefully as soon as she gets her volume back up she'll get nice and chubby again. She is in the 59 % for length at 27.5 ". the 10% for weight at 15-13 and the 8th percentile for head circumference (up from 3%) How's that for all over the place.
Apparently after a g-tube placement it can take a little while for the stomach to readjust and handle volume again, hopefully it happens soon. She is still throwing up several times a day, usually becasue she poos or sneezes, smaller amounts this time, but probably only becasue her feeds have less volume.
Other than all the feeding issues, she is super happy and bouncy. We've been able to spend a bit of time outside on nice days, which she loves. She starts smiling and cooing the second she goes outside.
Zoe had her 9 month check up today and the doctor was very pleased with how she is doing developmentally. No crawling yet, but she does get her knees up under her and up on her arms abit to lunge herself forward. Another few weeks and I think we'll be there.As I think all of you know, the three of us had been stayign at my parents house since we got back from the hospital. We finally got into our studio three days before Zoe's surgery and are still working on getting totally settled. I thought I would post a few pictures so you can see what it looks like. The colors are a bit washed out, but you get the idea.
