Another weight check...

We went to the dr's office this morning for another weight check. We did not get to see our Pediatrician as it's his day off. I felt quite confident going since we made it through the night without any vomiting. Whewhoo!

His weight held steady over night. He still weighs 15 pounds 11 ounces. So, the plan is to feed him Neocate, essentially an ounce an hour, and to keep in close touch with Dr. Rhame.

Ryan threw up on the way home, but did just fine most of the day.

Within a few minutes of getting home Dr. Rhame called. In fact, we've spoken about 5 times today. He consulted with the GI Specialists. He has recommended a 3-4 day trial of feeding nothing but Neocate.

Dr Rhame has recommended checking Ryan into the hospital so that we can get the GI and Ped Surgeon consult expedited. And, since Ryan has started vomiting again tonight, I suspect we'll admit him tomorrow or Monday at the latest. It seems we will probably be doing a g-tube soon.
