9.30 - UGHHH

That pretty much sums Hope's weigh in this morning.  I knew it was not going to be good.  She had a stomach virus for 8 days...yeah, the whole puking and pooping kind of virus.  The kind that no heart mom wants their little one to catch.  It was awful and I would have blogged about it, but it was just that awful.  So awful that I had to get a brand spanking new washing machine.  It was the floor model because they didn't have any that we liked in stock and we needed one THAT day.  The dryer will be here today, but no biggie...our old dryer works just fine.  I was going through at least 2 loads a day...and that was just the puke and poop stuff...not even counting the regular 2-4 loads I normally do a day. 

I am now home waiting for a call from Hope's cardiologist.  I know it is coming.  I am guessing we will be making a trip downtown in the next week or so.  They get really concerned when Hope loses any weight...even if she has been sick.

I will break down the ughhh for everyone.  Last weigh in December 14th - 9.55 kilos or 21 pounds .866 ounces.  Today (three weeks later) - 9.30 kilos or 20 pounds 8.05 ounces.  Total loss .25 kilos or 8.82 ounces (.551 pounds).  Not good at all.  We are trying to get her back to eating the way she was before the stomach bug, but that is going to take some time too.  She is pigging out on potato chips and I am thankful for that...it is something new for her and she loves it. 

Oh well...that is why there was no Happy New Year post.  I was busy cleaning up after a sweet little girl who was feeling really icky.  So...I hope everyone has a Happy and HEALTHY New Year!!!
