20 August, Friday: Today was a relatively slow day, with lots of naps and plenty of eating. GG shattered all previous records by sucking down an amazing 650 ml – approximately twice the volume she consumed just days ago. Gabriella’s weight continues to be a mystery, as today, she again weighed 8 lbs 5 oz. While none of the doctors or nurses believe she could have gained 7 oz in 36 hours, the fact her weight remains at 8 lbs 5 oz for a second day has them scratching their heads.
Regardless, Mom and Dad are both relieved to see her weight finally moving in the right direction. Gabriella did so well on yesterday’s tests that the doctors decided to hold off on the “modified Barium” exam. Ella was especially pleased, as she was not looking forward to drinking the Barium cocktail for the test.
Finally, the doctors have hinted that Gabriella may be discharged tomorrow, if things continue to go well. So we are all saying our prayers for a family reunion this Saturday. That’s all for now.
Thank you for your prayers.
