So our luck just continues. My son was born at 35w weighing 1.6kg or 3lb 10oz. Feeding has been an ongoing struggle. He tracks a line below all other lines on the chart, so I've always been concerned with his weight gain.
He was hospitalised for bronchiolitis last Thursday. He's still in high dependancy unit and receiving a lot of breathing assistance. He has been on reduced feeds since Thursday.
He was 2.9kg a few days before the illness, which is 6lb 8. He will definitely have lost weight in this last week.
He feels like the perpetual,newborn. Will he ever grow up. He has health issues that are unknown. He is constantly being tested for things but nothing comes back as a diagnosis. He has irregular blood readings for certain things and there is no explanation.
I am just moaning. I don't know where else to moan. I'm on my own all week all day at the hospital. My husband comes for an hour or two after work.
I want my son to be well and to grow up an get bigger. He is under 6lbs at 10 weeks old which just seems wrong. He was a 35 seeker. He should be doing better than this. Surely?
