Clare had her weekly check-up at the GI today. She gained four ounces in 9 days (and three of those days she didn't eat because she was under the weather)! Whoooo hoooo! This is the kind of weight gain the GI wants to see. We were excited to hear this for two reasons - 1) It means we don't have to do any major intervention (such as a feeding tube) prior to her cath this month, and 2) Clare doesn't have to see the GI for a month now (as opposed to weekly). Hopefully she will continue this pattern of weight gain.We're still waiting to hear from the hospital when her cath will be. We finally heard from the feeding specialist and nutritionist, and they are coming out to see Clare in three weeks. Clare continues to improve with her sitting - sitting for longer intervals and self-righting when she starts to sway off-balance.

It is not too often that someone congratulates you (not me, anyway!) on a weight gain, Miss Clare! I am so proud of you, and especially Mommy & Daddy for their TLC. Keep up the good work, and you'll amaze everyone! I love you, Aunt Joan
