Our rock star eater Mr. Caden had a couple of weeks of really poor feeding, not eating solids, and only consuming about 10 oz total when he needed to be at 26-28oz. After obviously getting worried seeing this is struggle with most HLHS babies I put a few calls into CHW to talk to our dietician. I think we have finally turned the corner. As of yesterday he started to consume more liquids. This is great because if their isn't enough calories coming in and/or liquids our dietician wants us to mix canola oil in with his food to increase the calories- yuck! The good news over those 2 weeks he didn't lose weight like David and I expected. At his 9 mo. check-up he checked in at 19.1 pounds. He got his 2nd round of synergis, and is going into get his 2nd H1N1 shot next week.
We continue to be blessed each day, and are thankful for all of your thoughts and prayers for us to be able to enjoy 9 wonderful months with our son. God is good! Also on another happy note ~ congrats to Joy and Jack Parrino on the birth of their daughter Lillian Heather ~ we are so happy for you.
Love ~
