Good news: Jack's symptoms are nothing serious; nothing wrong with his lungs, etc. If they persist, just use saline drops and a nasal aspirator bulb.
Not-so-good news: Dr. Bautista is unhappy with Jack's small weight gain. Today he weighed in at 5 lb. 5 oz., only one ounce more than his two week post-discharge appt. ;_; We're to come back on Mon. for a weight check; in the meantime, I'm to nurse him every one and a half to two hours, and NOT to let him sleep through feedings. Gah. This is going to suck. Poor Jack.
Getting to the hospital was every bit as annoying as foreseen; traffic was bad, and the gate guard's directions, while eventually proving to be accurate, confused me. Nor did it help that they had some kind of summer festival in the ballpark right across from the hospital, making parking a complete bitch.
But now I know how to find it, and can get there Monday easily.
Getting the appt. will be the hard part. The clinic receptionist didn't have anything open. She told me to call the Tricare appt. line Monday morning and ask for a same-day appt.; not to mention it being a followup or anything, lest they attempt to put me off. Joy.
Wish me luck and Jack plenty of weight gain.
