Weight 7.045 kg (15 lbs, 8.4 oz)
Oral Intake 12.5 oz.
Sofie slowed down on her oral intake as the day went on today. Even though she didn't get any Pedialyte last night, her weight was up by 2 ounces today. However, I think that's because she didn't have a poopie diaper yesterday or today and she's just backed up. I think it has affected her hunger as the day progressed and she needs to get things moving again in order to be hungry enough to eat the way she has been the last few days.
The plan was to hold the Pedialyte again tonight, but dehydration can contribute greatly to constipation, so we're going to change up the plan just a bit, so we can get right back on track. We're going to give her just a touch more erythromycin tonight than she usually gets and also give her a little bit of lactulose. She hasn't gotten the lactulose in quite a while - maybe a month or two. We stopped giving it when we started giving the erythromycin, because she didn't need both. We're also going to give her 5 ounces of Pedialyte. Hopefully that will be enough to rehydrate her and get her stooling again, but not enough to stifle her hunger tomorrow.
