We went to the pediatrician this morning and Addison had only gained two ounces in seven days. She is doing better, but still not good enough. She only gained 2 ounces since Tuesday. So, it looks like she is going to get the feeding tube that they put in surgically through the stomach. He's not doing it right now, because her weight is still in a safe range. But if she doesn't gain properly within the next two weeks then that is what we are going to do. It's heart breaking, but I will do whatever I have to do to make sure that she develops properly. We go to see the ENT tomorrow about tubes. The pediatrician thinks that the tube down her throat is probably not helping with the ear infections which is another reason why he is considering the peg tube. He said she will probably get the tubes and the peg tube at the same time.
On a lighter note, Amy (my friend's sister who does my eyebrows), was kind enough to come over to do a house call on my eyebrows. Her sister and son came, too. It was an eyebrow waxing party! Spencer, her son, was so cute! He wanted to hold the baby, because she is so soft. He would rub his cheek on Addison's. It was very cute.
