Emma had her 4 month check-up this morning & unfortunately she has lost weight. She was down 2 ounce from 12 days ago when she was there for a weight check, which puts her in the 5% for weight. She is in the 55% for her height & 90% for her head, I guess that means she has a big head, not real sure. I did tell Dr. K that she hasn't been eating well in the last week or so, only averaging 12-15 oz per day. There has even been some feedings where we couldn't get her to eat anything at all. Dr. K isn't really sure what else to do other than put in a feeding tube, but Dr. O (cardiologist) is against doing that right now. She did put a call into him this morning & discuss her concerns & she is suppose to let me know if they make any decisions to help Emma beef up a little more before the surgery next week. Dr. K does want Emma to start taking vitamens since she isn't getting all the nutrients she needs from the formula & she also got her last RSV shot for the season.
