Brief update regarding LJ's weight check and doc appointment last week. His weight is up from the last visit- he's 12.13 kg which converts to 26.75 lbs. The nutritionist suggested he should be gaining 5 grams a day. We're pretty much on track if you reflect on his baseline weight pre-wean. We've made some kale smoothies and some zucchini bread and surprisingly been successful at having him enjoy eating those veggies. Noodles has also downed a few steamed pork buns & some homemade meatballs a la Emily- exploring other animal proteins and adding some variety to the repertoire. Noodles also went to his first fair, and his favorite treats were
funnel cake and lemonade! He's also been consistently taking a bottle of chocolate milk each night pre-bedtime... as long as it's from
Mommy.
The nurse and nutritionist both feel comfortable with how well things are going (knock on wood it stays this way). Consequently we don't have to go in for weekly weight checks anymore. Next weigh-in is scheduled for mid-June. The other thing we're tweaking is a reduction in volume of water via Gtube. Since Lew is getting fluids orally, we don't need to supplement as much through his tube.
Totally unrelated but a mantra that I try to live by:
