Back in hospital - 20 Dec

Well, as you can tell from this photo, sometimes I dont want to eat. I am often too tired to open my mouth, which means I dont get my calories inside my belly, which means I get more tired, which means I dont eat, which means my temperature eventually drops to 32C and I have to go back into hospital to spend some time warming up and getting fed by a tube. The doctors still aren't sure why my temp went so low, but it is back up now. I have to spend tonight inside for observation and will know tomorrow if my infection is back or what else is the matter. Mum has been telling the GP, the health visitor and the nurses about my not waking enough, but they all seem to think I was doing fine. Well, I am glad mum insisted I go into hospital for a checkup otherwise I might be trying to hibernate through this cold weather (it is -4c tonight brrrrrrrrrrrr - I am glad I am under a nice heater trying to warm me up). By the way, I was weighed today and I now weigh 5lb 7oz, which is still only in the 9 % for a 38 week baby (I didn't end up matching my Dad's 11lb then!).
