This week’s update:
I started feeding Sophia two 3 oz cans of food daily (190-200 cal). She seemed extra hungry as I continued to wean her off the dry food, so one night when I gave her a little extra dry, she vomited. I took that as a sign that the grains weren’t agreeing with her stomach, so now she only gets a few pieces at night to coax her into the bedroom.
I noticed she had been hangry, so I divided her evening feeding in two, making her mealtimes 8:30 AM, 6 PM, and 10:30 PM. I’m not sure this has helped anything and actually seems to make her more food obsessed.
One night this week she gave me a painful bite on my shin. It shallowly broke the skin, so I made it bleed and cleaned with peroxide. No signs of infection about 48 hours later but boy did it leave a nasty bruise. I’m not sure what caused it; she lunged while I was walking to sit on the couch. She may have been overstimulated because I had to wipe her about an hour prior.
Unfortunately, her weight loss plateaued this week, only weighing in at 17.4 lbs. Because she lost over 2% last week, I’m not completely worried, but if she doesn’t lose more by next week, I may have to reevaluate the process.
I admit I’m discouraged by this week’s events, but it’s only one week in what is going to be a long journey.
