Pediatric Followup

Maria had a followup with the pediatrician today. The big concern is that she is still at the same weight she was over a year ago. We need to start adding butter, cream cheese, etc. to things she eats and try to get her to eat more. She said "no more crackers" because they are not calorie-dense enough, which is a pity as they are great for Maria to practice picking up. Cathy goes back in a month and if Maria's weight isn't up the pediatrician is going to send them to a nutritionist.

She also said Cathy needs to check Maria's heart rate when she is asleep to see if it is still fluctuating like it was in the hospital. If it is then she will order an EKG - because god knows we certainly need ANOTHER diagnosis, ANOTHER doctor, and ANOTHER test.
