SIX Pounds and TEN ounces!

Today we had Eleanor's weekly pediatrician visit.  We are elated about her weight gain!
10 oz!!!!  The most Eleanor has EVER gained (in a week) in her life!!!!  We are hopeful that she will keep it up!  It is not easy working through her IUGR, but she is fighting and... gaining!

She had her second dosage of her RSV vaccination.  Three more to go over the next three months.

Eleanor's blood test for Factor V Leiden came back as negative for the mutation!  Emily did not pass on her clotting disorder to Eleanor!!  We are thrilled!

We went to Ashford for her Factor V Leiden test results and decided while there we would stop by the nicu to say hello to the doctors and nurses who had taken such amazing care of Eleanor.  It was fun to see everyone again.  Eleanor showed her biggest smile. Everyone was happy to see her.

Eleanor reached 6 pounds even at her pediatrician appointment last week!  Looking forward to seeing her weight at her next appointment ... Tuesday!
