We had a normal night with the exception she woke up every four hours to eat instead of three... She still peed way to much throughout the night, so I wasn't confident in how the repeat of the urine test was going to turn out... So we put cotton balls in her diaper to collect the urine by 10am... Sure enough just as I thought the results came back the same, meaning she isn't concentrating her urine on the lower calorie diet... This means her kidneys are still working to hard because she isn't able to handle the amount of protein, even though it's what the average baby gets... She did gain weight though... Gained 2 ounces making her weight 8.8... If she continues to still gain weight then there is a low protein formula we can try to see if her kidneys can tolerate that... We might start that tomorrow... She was suppose to have her hearing screen for genetics today but she was fussy and they were unsuccessful, so we will attempt it again wednesday... She did have her eye exam today, again for genetics to make sure her retina and eye pressure and nerves were ok, they had to dilate her eyes but everything was fine... They told me that the dilation wouldn't go away till morning, so we are sitting in the dark cause the lights hurt her eyes... She did have more physical therapy done... This therapist said her muscle tone in her shoulders were low and to help with that we need to keep her arms in front of her rather than on the side or in the back... The highlight of my day was that this sweet girl of mine finally rolled over from her tummy to her back... She had been rolling over from her back to her belly for several weeks now but today she rolled the other way... She decided to show off for these nice doctors here... I'm am definitely one proud mommy
