Mom presented for weight check, one hour late, but baby has gained
another 4 ounces in a day and at 7lb-6oz at 15 days is now just one
ounce shy of birthweight.  I got this report from the island nurse.
Although I left messages on the mom's answering machine I have not
yet had a reply.  There was a housefire in the home next to hers last
night in which a person died, so this may contribute to distractions.

Apparently there is to be a meeting with the doctor & social worker
tommorrow.  I haven't been invited, and I don't know if the maternity
nurse, the wetnurse, or the public health nurse have been invited
either.  The PHN hopes she will be able to attend anyways, and I hope
that as many of us as possible could participate in a team meeting
soon..  I plan to send some notes along with some recommendations for
breastfeeding management to the doctor in the morning.

Thank-you  for all you ideas.

I appologize for the erroeous dates on my posts.  Since we did a Y2K
check our computer is confused.  It is now 3:30 Sunday afternoon
pacific time.

I am now going to try and put this out of my head for a few hours and
bake a cake with my daughter!
