A few days ago I had sent a log of the amounts and types of foods and liquids Lilah was eating at each meal and snack time. I just got an email back from the dietitian who is thrilled with the amount of calories that she is eating.
Her goal is to reach roughly 1,000 calories daily for catch up growth. She is averaging 1160 according to the food log I sent. This means we can stop the after hours night feed!!!
Our only goal now is to increase the amount of liquid that she drinks by mouth. This could be water, milk or juice. I have a feeling that this process will be very similar to how it was with food. One day, when we are hardly paying attention, she will down a glass of juice and off she will go.
My heart is filled with joy and my head is still trying to be convinced this is all real. What a journey.
