New baby girl is Itty Bitty.  She is a Failure to thrive baby.  This is my first experience handling a medically fragile baby.  She has a feeding tube that was placed 3 weeks ago and is now gaining weight.  Originally placed in care VOLUNTARILY when she as just DAYS old...her original foster mom should have been made aware that this baby was going home.  Itty Bitty was with her until bios secured housing and bio mom appropriately recovered from medical issues resulting for the c-section.  Itty Bitty was returned to bios then voluntarily placed BACK in care due to her lack of weight gain.  Itty Bitty takes NOTHING by mouth.  She has NO suck reflex and gags when a bottle is placed in her mouth.  She lost a significant amout of weight to warrant her feeding tube but it seems that foster mom was developing an unhealthy attachment with Itty Bitty and she tried to sabotage the bios.  She sent the baby to visits with the bios with out certain ESSENTIAL medical supplies and with a CLOGGED feeding tube.  The Dr I saw earlier said that she remembered foster mom saying that only SHE could properly care for this baby and that the bios did not deserve her.  She also said that she could give Itty Bitty SO MUCH more than the bios.  The pediatrician remembers thinking that this foster mom is going to have a hard time giving up this baby.  Anyway, Itty Bitty is here now.  We spent Fri, Sat and Sun in the peds office fiuring things out and Sunday afternoon we were admitted to the ER and stayed till yesterday night.  She is visiting with her bio family for the next couple of days and is well on her way to being transitioned HOME.  I LOVE this part of f0ster care!!!  I have to admit taking The Screamer for respite was a bit hard when we found out that we were being admitted but I'm glad it all worked out for my family at home to help out!! The Screamer left a day early but I'm just glad to be home again.  More updates soon...
