Well, we have ourselves a chunky monkey; Riley is up to a whopping 7 lbs 13 oz (woo-hoo!). We had Riley's bi-weekly cardiologist appointment today and they shared with us that a "normal" baby should gain about 30 mg per day, and Riley with her cardiac problem should be gaining less ... well she's gaining 28 mg per day so she's kicking butt & taking names in the weight gain department. We are increasing 2 of her meds in order to keep up with her increased fluid intake. Now we just need this special compound pharmacy to get all of this stuff delivered to us before we run out. Tomorrow is our appointment with Dr. Wulkan, Riley's surgeon to check up on her feeding tube. Maybe he can tell us why they keep breaking.
Zoey had her Thanksgiving Feast at school today, but if you ask her what she ate, all she can remember is turkey & popsicles! Silly girl.
I found cute Christmas dresses for the girls today after much searching. Not the matchy-matchy dresses that I had envisioned, but they will work. We had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner at Benihana that we dress up for ... a tradition that we started by accident back when we still lived in Providence, RI in 2000 (11 years and going strong)
