Weight Gain!

This past Wednesday I took James in for a weight check. His dietician called last week and thought it'd be a good idea just so we know where we're going. James' last weight was done in early November and he was 23.4 lbs. On Wednesday he weighed 24.8 lbs!! I was so proud of my little boy! He's almost met his goal to be at by May. In the past couple of months we've been working extra hard to get more calories into James. We were able to get more Pediasure 1.5 from the WIC program enabling us to double the amount of that which is about 80 more calories than the regular Pediasure. We've also been added about 3 scoops of Duocal to his Pediasure which adds about 25 calories per scoop. Hopefully we continue this trend and we can keep avoiding that g-tube. Not only is it to avoid a g-tube, but we need to make sure James has enough calories to be able to grow and stay healthy. Looks like he's doing good on the weight gain front for now but we definately don't get to slack off...this will probably be a continual thing for James for many years to come. We just have to hope and pray that he's able to do it all on his own and thank God for he's able to do!
