No weight gain yet

We went to Children's for a follow up appointment from Jen's surgery yesterday. She did so well, and was patient with the nurses and doctor. They weighed her and were surprised she hadn't gained any weight yet. It had been 10 days since surgery. I really wasn't thinking it was going to pack on quick anyways. Now we will talk to nutrition to add more calories. We really can't do more volume of formula, she barely is accepting what she gets. The doctor said because of her delayed gastric emptying issues, the feeding may very well have to remain very slow. The site looks good and they ordered other supplies we need on a regular basis. This is all taking alot to get use to. At night I am so preoccupied with her feedings, meds, etc.. When I come back downstairs 2 hours later, everyone is going upstairs to bed, no family life these days.
