Had a good report from the paediatrician today on Eva's health. Her medication appears to be doing the right thing, and she's developing as expected. Her next blood test is in 4 weeks time (previously it was fortnightly tests). We also don't need to make trips to Vancouver to see the paediatric endocrinologists at the children's hospital. She can have all her tests and checkups here on the island. That makes life a bit easier, as we know the hospital here quite well now!
Eva was a model baby for about 24 hours - sleeping beautifully, settling quickly, feeding at exactly the right times, but then she decided to punish us for thinking we'd perhaps done something right. The last 24 hours has been hellish. Such is the vaguaries of parenthood, I guess. I discussed her colic with the paediatrician, and apart from a new remedy which has some good results in clinical trials (a probiotic drop), he said that I should listen to my mother as he'd never argue with a grandmother, especially one who had 11 children.
