The Iron Saga...
For those of you keeping up... we had our follow up with our pediatrician today. I told Abby that she wasn't going to get "stuck" with another needle and yet -- they did do a toe prick to see if her iron levels were rising. They've gone up a bit and so he lowered her dose of iron and is allowing us to give it every other day. We're hoping this gives her body a little break and a chance to gain some much needed pounds. His final words were, "You can do this, Abby!" Hurrah for the pediatrician.

What good news about the iron, that's so tough to have two conflicting problems--iron levels and weight gain. Hopefully now she'll be more comfortable. I'm praying for time to sleep for the two of you as well. Hang in there, she'll be getting skinned knees before you know it--love, renee
