My favourite part of the day is snuggling Ellie. Today, she smells like heaven, she had a baby spa morning, washed, scrubbed, moisturized with Burt's bees baby bee products.
Dr. Dee was by this morning. She said Ellie is way more alert during the day, and that they've really noticed an improvement in her energy and interactions. Joanne, the child life lady, spends mornings making Ellie work! She plays and plays, working on development. We have noticed a huge change since E was moved back out onto the ward. People stop by all day long, there is always something going on. She is happy, as happy as you can be in hospital.
Dr. Dee said they're a little worried E is gaining weight too quickly. But, said it is possible she is chunking out prior to a growth spurt. They're not going to change her caloric intake until the end of the month, to give her the opportunity to grow as much as she can.
We talked about getting the RSV vaccine. It is ridiculously expensive ($1000 a shot), and needs to be given once a month until the end of RSV season. Ellie can't get RSV. That would be so, so bad. Pretty sure she qualifies for the coverage, so that should start this week.
We also got into the medical funding side of the At Home program. Dr. Dee said at the end of this we will also get respite coverage. This is good.
We are definitely staying in BC.
Jay ans I are going for a mini holiday in Calgary, sans Jakob, which will be good.
Mmmm... back to my snuggles.
