[tri-med] Weight check results

We got to go back to PT for the first time since Hannah got out of the 
hospital! She did very well and is not happy to be back. Then we took 
Hannah to the pediatrician's office for her weight check. (They are SO 
super in that office. Since she got out of the hospital they have been 
having us come in through the side door and today they slid us into the 
administration office so we wouldn't have to wait in the hallway and be 
exposed to sick kids walking by until they got a room ready for us. We've 
even undressed and dressed Hannah in seen the doctor's for weigh checks 
when they haven' t been able to open up a room.)
Bad news is that she still isn't gaining and had lost an ounce. The doctor 
is giving her until Monday (we go back for her 6-month check up and flu 
shot) to start gaining or she wants to go to the NG tube to at least 
supplement what she takes by mouth. Hannah had been taking about 12-13 
ounces a day since home but she must have heard the doctor real clear as so 
far today (4 pm) she has taken just under 10 ounces! I'd almost be willing 
to bet (based on past experience) that she will be good for another at 
least 5-6 ounces before bedtime!

She is tending to be clingy today too. Hard to type with a baby in your lap 
as I'm sure you all know. :)
