We thought something was a little strange. While at Costco Olivia projectile vomited all over. So much that they had to put an orange "Caution" sign up. It was everywhere!
Then on Sunday she just seemed dis-interested in her bottle. Going 4 hours between feeding. Sometimes only drinking half. Strange. Then in the evening she had another huge Spit-up. More like throw up. It was, once more, everywhere. I had no idea her little tummy could hold that much.
Then this morning she had half of a bottle at 7:30am.... and nothing after that. She wouldn't take a bottle at all for hours. It was then that I called the Dr.
Given her history of "issues" they wanted to see her. They ran a few teats, one of which was a urinalysis. That was sad because to get a clean sample they had to cath her. That made her soooo mad. Especially since she was going on 5 1/2 hours without a bottle. I'd be mad too.
Turn's out she has another UTI. So sad. This poor little girl is just going through the ringer. Another bummer was that she had lost a good amount of weight since her weight check on Thursday. Now she's fallen way off the chart. We are trying desperately to get weight on her, not off. We wanted to fatten her up before her surgery this Monday.
So now we have a sad, tiny, hungry baby girl. My heart just breaks for her. She's pretty miserable yet she'll still smile at you, even if its between cry's.
And the big news now is that she just drank 3 ounces. This is all she has had for nearly 10 hours. Lets hope she keeps it down so we don't land ourselves in the Hospital. We'll have plenty of that before next week is over, thank you very much!
