So we had a followup appointment yesterday with the specialist. He has gained 10 ounces and an inch & a half in 4 weeks. They are a bit pleased, but still concerned about his weight. He is full time on the kid boost essentials supplement now (which is really expensive & you can only buy it online) & they are going to see him back in a month. They also did genetic testing & further testing for celiac. So we will find out those results in a little over a week.
They think it might be his metabolism & that he needs a very high calorie/high fat diet to gain weight. So just waiting to find out the results from the blood work.
Re: Update on Keegan & his weight issues
Good growing, Keegan!
I hope you find out what's up with his weight gain. But I'm glad he DID gain a bit since his last visit.

His weight is going in the right direction. That's great news! If he is positive for celiac, I have to tell you, it's not necessarily a bad diet change. More work? yes. But, very nutritious. We can all benefit from that.

I'd say that's pretty good growth! I remember you saying before that your other boys are on the small side too. I wouldn't be surprised if you get all the test results back and you find out that he is completely healthy. Hope the blood work comes back great.
Good luck. And DaisyDana may be right. He could just be a little fellow.
