Zach's Weight Update
Over the last several weeks we had both Zach's 3 year well-child check and a nephrology appointment. We've been doing a blended diet for the last several months and we were hoping to have significant weight gain so we could prove to his dietician that this was the way to go. Unfortunately, during our blended diet journey he started puking every night again. We finally decided his poor little stomach couldn't handle being fed while he's sleeping all night long and switched him to two bolus feeds during the day. He's back to puking very little and rarely and we're all sleeping much better at night. He gained a little bit of weight and is now up to 25 lb 6.4 oz and is 34 inches tall. This is the first time he's truly gained weight since his failure to thrive diagnosis last year and since having his g-tube placed. I think if we can keep seeing weight gain we can finally get his dietician to stop acting like we're not doing enough to help him gain weight and to prove to her that the blended diet is worth it and working for our sweet boy. Labs look fantastic and we will follow up again in March or April!
