12/10/13 - Finding the Silver Linings

If there has to be a positive to being a cleft mum, it's knowing the tricks to get your child to drink when they don't want to! 

Ellie's condition has worsened even on the medication. She now won't drink her bottles, and the only thing keeping her from becoming dehydrated is that I am so good at syringe feeding her. It's a lot harder now that she's stronger though, and holding her still is nearly impossible. I'm definitely not looking forward to this part of the post op routine! 

I suppose if she doesn't improve in the next couple of days we'll need to go back to the doctor. I'm sure the antibiotics will kick in soon.... If not I just don't see her having surgery next month.
