Weight: 2.83kg

Arlene gained another 130grams, weighing at 2.83kg this morning.I met with one of her doctors who said her sucking reflex is quite poor, which was the major cause of her weight loss since birth. She has a hard time latching on to her mother and bottle, so after a short time she would get tired of drinking. In addition, the CMV infection has resulted in inflammation of her liver and minor infection of the bladder. Lastnight they administered the antibiotics for bladder infection, but in order to determine which path to treat her liver, doctors still need to conduct the ultrasound for her bladder, liver and kidneys. She was taken to the Hermina Hospital in Jatinegara this afternoon for the scan, and we will receive the results tomorrow. The brain scan lastnight shows the infection has NOT spread to the brain (no midline deformity/no presence of brain calcification). Thank you to all of you who donated today. With much gratitude for your contribution, I wish you all good health and peace. Let's hope for a better tomorrow.
