More news on K

We went to his GI doc today. He hasnt gained any weight in 4 weeks. He actually has stayed the same.

Ive been keeping a food journal for his dr appts. He is averaging about 18 oz a day, when it should be 30 minimum. 

The dr is now concerned that if he keeps up this amount of formula, he will drop weight rapidly. 

He starts going to the feeding clinic at the Childrens Hospital on Wednesday. He is also getting an Gastric Emptying test bc he throws up sometimes up to 3 -4 hours after he eats. We have that test on Tuesday.

Also they want me to start him on Elecare and see how he does on that.

So Im still playing it day by day. Ive gained 8lbs since this has started.....probably because I stopped BF. But probably bc Ive been eating like crap lately. Stress and food and myself do not mix..I have no will power when Im exhausted.

Poor K! And poor Mommy! I hope this craziness ends for you soon! Good luck with his tests next week! Stay strong, Mama!

I'm so sorry he's having such a hard time. I hope they can determine something for sure at his appointment to help him out. I'm a stress eater, too. Either I don't eat, or I over eat.
