Mitchell's dedication

Monday, January 25, 2010



Last Thursday I took Mitchell for his weight check- only gained an ounce, but his length improved on the growth curve. It is possible that there could be a variance- this weight was at the Cardiology office; the previous was at the pediatrician. We had hoped for more, but at least it is a gain.
We increased each feeding just slightly, adding an ounce more per day. The retching continues to be a problem, but the added volume doesn't seem to have made it any worse. Getting over the virus has actually helped that some as well. Hoping to see more gain this week.
Mitchell will be re-evaluated by a new Physical Therapist on Thursday; then he will see his Speech Therapist. Still no interest in food- actually quite opposed to it, but we'll keep trying it.
I'll try to get this week's update posted sooner.
Thank you for your continued support!

You sure are in our prayers, wish we could be closer to help, but know your mother helps as much as she can. We could send you some snow!!! It is cold, but in the 30's in the day time, so not bad, we can handle that, you know it is winter time. Love and prayers
