Noah's Doctor Appointment

We had to take Noah to the doctor today,for a weight check,because he is so tiny..well,he had lost almost a pound already,he's down to 5lbs 6oz ..scary,,and i was already concerned,because its been almost 3 days since he's pooped and he went almost 3 hours with a dry diaper,which is NOT good news with a newborn,,He has been nursing great,and seems content afterwards,but something's obviously not right! The doctor told us to supplement tonight,and they want to see him again tomorrow afternoon,,I just nursed him for 30 minutes,he got milk, was gulping,burped and all,and STILL drank 2oz of formula afterwards..I am praying that he poops any time now and has a diaper full of pee! I just want my little angel to be healthy,,He also failed his hearing test for his right ear twice at the hospital,so we have a follow up appt in a couple weeks,,well,the doc figured out why that might be,,his right ear canal is tiny,,alot smaller than his left one,,she couldn't even see in it to check his eardrum and everything,,she said "dont worry YET",,yeah right!,,she wants to check that out again in 3 weeks when he's a little bigger,and maybe she'll be able to see,,she also said it may resolve itself on its own with him getting bigger,,i dont understand how his ear canal opening can all of a sudden grow to the size of his other one,,im worried sick that he'll be partially deaf or something,,ive been worried something's going to be wrong with him since i found out i was preggo,,very uneasy,,i was never that way with kruise,and now that he's premature,and has this too,im kinda freaking out,,ive been on the brink of tears all day,,just pray that he is normal and healthy
