Poop Watch 2006 is a success -- Griffith finally stooled today! Big cheers all around for the little fellow. Here's hoping we get repeat performances from him. They've increased his feeds and he is absolutely loving it. He sucks it down and smacks his lips for more. So long as he does well they will continue to increase the amount of milk he gets every day (he's getting 12 ml currently. For comparison, his brother is taking 45 ml. No wonder he's such a little chubster.) They still think he has an infection, but they can't find where it is. (He's very tiny. It isn't like there are a lot of places where he could hide it.) Anyway, he is on antibiotics and they continue to try to eliminate the possibilities. He acts like he's feeling better, though. Last night he weighed in at 4 pounds 12 ounces. Allan was still at about 6 pounds 8 ounces. He seems to be getting rid of some of the fluid that had built up and was feeling better today. He spent a lot of last night awake and checking out the world. They were both drifting off as I left this afternoon. With any luck they will be revived and rejuvenated when Gramma and Grampy come in tonight.
