GI Appointment



























Tristan has his second GI appointment in 2 weeks. The good new? He gained 11 oz in the two weeks! The G-tube talk has been officially tabled....for at least 3 more weeks. We'll return to the GI office the last week of January to do another weight check. We are so happy with this progress! Tristan's oral feeding is getting better with more practice. It's still at the beginning phase but the volume of food is getting higher. Instead of getting about 5-6 macaroni noodles down in one sitting, we are seeing 12-16! That is more than double from 3 weeks ago. 


His lack of talking is still an issue. He was tested a couple weeks ago and it was determined he has a true delay. We will start Speech Therapy for talking soon (not just for eating). 


Pray the positive progress continues. 


We will update about the sedated ECHO on January 17th.


(BTW--the nice bruise you see on the head is from him running into our living room end table).
