a secret diet?

The scale says that Caley lost 100 grams today. We're pretty sure that's impossible. The nurse practitioner who was working this evening said not to worry about it, but we can't help but obsess over her weight. She has a lot to gain before she can come home!

In other news, Caley had another eye exam today, with the same results: "Your baby does not have ROP but could develop problems later because the retinal blood vessels are still not fully mature. Your baby should have an ROP exam again in 2 weeks." She also had a hearing screening, which she passed. We don't have to do another hearing screening for 18 months, but apparently there is a small risk that she will suffer from progressive hearing loss because of her time on the ventilator.

And thanks to Nurse Janelle for the picture of the day:


She grabbed the camera because Caley had her eyes wide open and was being cute. And of course then Caley closed her eyes. But you can see how her face is filling out -- no secret diets, Caley! Keep on packing on those ounces!
