Day +9

Grace the nutritionist came to chat. She said David is doing great! She asked if he is eating more b/c his calorie count has been about 900 calories. I was not going to argue with that. I am still required to document everything he eats and drinks since he is not on TPN. The upsetting part is she does not count the breastmilk. I thought after the last converstaion she said breastmilk is 20 calories per ounce. I assumed she would count it. She is a nice lady but I would like to see that rule of thumb changed. I'm wrote Dr. Neustedter, David's natural health doctor, for advice. He's a go-getter. Maybe with his help we can make some changes around here ;-)

His hair is almost gone. He has one patch left on the top. His head feels so soft and warm.

For the past 2 days I had a strong headache. I went to Guest Services for a 15 minute shoulder and neck massage. It was refreshing. The headache is gone.
