My mom arrived on Sunday evening and I am so glad she's here!!!! Both Peter and Olivia were happy to see her. We all made the long drive from here to the Raleigh/Durham airport because Mike was still at work. We had a nice time catching up on the car ride and the kids were pretty well behaved.
It was really nice to have my mom here to help today but I think it was a bit of a rude awakening for her. Peter is as adorable as ever and is happy to have another person around to play with. Olivia, on the other hand, spent the entire day moaning and whining. Olivia weight is still steady but she just doesn't seem to be eating much so I called our nurse practicioner for some advice. We went through everything that has happened since he saw her in clinic last Wednesday. Olivia isn't having regular bowel movements, she won't poop for a couple of days then she'll have a couple of loose stools that smell pretty badly. According to my notes she's eating about the same amount. Despite all of my efforts she doesn't seem to be gaining weight and is starting to look pretty skinny. He called in an antibiotic to the pharmacy here in case it's C. diff (c. difficile click here for more info c. difficile). If it is c. diff then we started the antibiotic today and by Wednesday's clinic visit we will hopefully know if it has made a difference. We also talked a bit about appetite stimulants but at this point we'll just have to wait until Wednesday and see how things go.
It was a long day and I'm exhausted, glad that my mom is here to help!
We did make it home in time Sunday night to see the last quarter of the Saints game. I'm so excited for the Saints to play in their 1st Superbowl! You know who we'll be rooting for around here! Who 'Dat! Geaux Saints!
