Fever went down
We kept a close eye on Lydia last night, and we were relieved that her fever continued to go down. Last time we checked, it was 99.6 She has been a little cranky last night and today so far...she has the right! We went for her RMR this morning...Resting Metabolic Rate. It is a procedure that tests the amount of calories her body needs to sustain energy at a rest. I was able to hold her, and they put a little canopy (dome) over her body for 18 minutes. She cried the whole time...I think her little belly was hungry because she has not been eating well. She had to fast for 2 hours before the test at 10:00, so her last feeding was at 7:30...she wouldn't take more than 1 ounce. After the RMR, they also did an EKG...only took 5 minutes, and I was able to feed her during the test. She took almost all 3 oz of that bottle. I am hoping to get an appt with Dr Alberty (GI) soon so that we can discuss her decline in eating habits again...I left a message yesterday. Hopefully, it is only a result of all the procedures that she has had done and that her appetite will return to normal again soon. We plan to head to the airport in about an hour...can't wait to see our other two girls! Aunt T called a little while ago...Elise has an ear infection...always something! I look forward to a restful and fun Easter weekend!
