We weren't scheduled to see a doctor in December, but Timmy's G-tube stitches are causing some inflammation, and probably should be removed. We thought we heard the stitches were dissolvable, but at this point is is clear they aren't. It has made him a bit fussier over the past couple of days, so we asked the visiting nurse yesterday, and she told us she needed a doctor's approval to remove the stitches. So we needed to make an appointment. So, hopefully the stitches will come out today and Timmy can rest a little easier.
He slept better last night than he has been with the help of some ibuprofen, so we are hopeful that the trouble sleeping has just been because of discomfort from the stitches.
He is up over 11 pounds as of his weigh-in yesterday, and continues to look well, and move around quite a bit. His weight is 3 pounds higher than what it was for most of his time in the hospital. His diagnosis hasn't changed, but we are still praying it does, and are thankful in the meantime for having a growing baby.
