My Skinny Little Man

Samuel has started to seem a little better...his fever is down below 100 degrees, and he doesn't seem as listless anymore. He had another appointment with the doctor this morning...he listened to his lungs and said that the breathing treatments seem to be working. He also said that RSV is a virus that likes to hang around for a long time, so it could be a couple more weeks before Samuel is back to 100 percent. Guess we'll just have to hang in there! Right now, my main concern is that he hasn't really gotten his appetite back. At his appointment today, we found out that he's lost nine ounces since Thanksgiving...it doesn't seem like a lot, but when you only weight 15 lbs, 6 oz to begin with, it is! The doctor doesn't seem concerned...he said it's normal for sick babies to lose their appetite and lose weight, but that Samuel isn't exhibiting any signs of dehydration, so he should be okay. Thanks to everyone for their concern...I'll continue to keep you all in the loop!
