The fun never ends

Woke up nice and early.

Took a cab to the hospital. Got checked in and only had to wait an hour and a half for a room.

We are sharing a room with a very small newborn. Not sure what his issues are yet. We have asked about a private room but really doubt we will get one. We are more concerned about Abigail bothering another patient then the other way around. Abigail is not really willing to lay in a bed all day. They have lots of things to do for kids. There is a pre-school we can go to from 10am to 12pm everyday, and 4pm to 6pm.

The metabolic test was a bust as she screamed for the whole 25 minutes. The were trying to figure out how many calories a day she would need based on her co2 levels. It was not one of the worst tests we have had to do over the years....but it definitely was not fun.

They let Abigail have something to eat! 1/3 of a meal size that she will eventually be on. I should have taken a picture and will get one of the afternoon meal. One piece of cheese (1inch by 1inch)
teaspoon of Mayonnaise, and 1 ounce of heavy whipping cream. She is starting to slow down the more into Ketosis she goes. This will help keep her from bouncing off the walls.

Overall Abigail is doing great. Melinda and I are on our 3rd round of coffee for the day. Melinda is going to nap with Abigail and I am off in search of food of some kind...what ever the hospital cafeteria has to offer.
