Chami is Eating Again!

Chami started eating yesterday.  He was only allowed to eat 10ml every 8 hours but he was so hungry even after the first meal that the nurse gave him 20% more (which is only 2ml more for a baby who was eating more than 100ml on day 3).  When we visited him at 2pm, he kept waking up to look for food but poor baby could only chew on the cotton stick (which is dabbed in cool boiled water).  He got so frustrated and refused to go back to sleep.  Finally the nurse picked him up to comfort him.  She then asked if I wanted to hold him.  Of course I do!  It's been more than a week since I last held him...  I petted him slowly and he slowly dozed off in my arms!  We heard, however, that after we left he three a big fit since he woke up hungry again but fortunately he was again sleeping like an angel when Dadu visited him at 7pm.  He has stopped receiving all medications so that is a good sign.  He is getting a reverse liposuction though since they are now injecting "fat" into his vein, 19 ml per day, to replenish all the baby fat he has lost in the last week...
