Nothing Short of a Miracle

I'm in tears as I'm typing this. Not the same tears I've become oh so accustomed too these past few months... they're happy tears. We just got home from Maddie's follow-up appointment (see below post). They changed Maddie's meds (appetite enhancer & new reflux meds) while we were at the hospital, and her eating really did improve. In fact, it almost doubled! We went from a struggling, lips pursed, screaming child during feedings (barely getting 16 oz down a day) to a hungry HAPPY feed me every 2 hrs little piggy ;0) I knew she had to be gaining weight... but today was the ultimate test... THE SCALE! (Drum roll please) ................................................... She's gained 1lb 2 oz since we left the hospital 9 nine days ago (yes, you read that right ONE POUND TWO OUNCES a 9% increase). This is nothing short of a miracle! Note to the ones who solicitated your unwanted advice about how medicine just masks a bigger underlying issue: Kiss my you know what....My little girl is growing! I've made another appt with Dr. Gregory (He was one of the GI specialists we saw at St. Mary's). I just want to give the guy a hug!! Yep, I'll make the $50 co-pay just to hug Dr. Gregory. I heart Dr. Gregory!! Sorry to cut this post short, but this is cause for celebration. Maddie and I are gonna go eat some ice cream ;0)
