Well, I took Dakota in for his annual check-up. We were also going to discuss his weight, and his MIC-KEY button. He is growing....Taller. He's now 37 in. tall. But he didn't gain an ounce. We are soo frustrated because we feel we have tried everything. Routine eating schedule, high calorie drinks, grazing all day, but nothing. The only "good" thing is Dr. Ransdell hasn't demanded that we go back on his feeds. St. Mary's now has an official Childrens Hospital. They have added a few specialized clinics, one of them being a feeding/ nutrition clinic. So, we are waiting to here when our appt. will be to meet with Dr. Carmicheal?. Hopefully she will be able to see Dakota eat during a meal, give us a specific menu and times, or even gives us some hints on positive reinforcement to get him to eat. We will just have to wait and see. So at Christmas he might weigh 26 lbs, or 30 lbs. We can only hope and pray for the
30 lbs. Ohh wouldn't he look healthy. :)

Hey girl...just pray and give it to God and he will take care of him. Also, can you give him lots of high-carb foods....pastas, breads, and potates. How are you doing?
Hey guys, we'll be praying too!! Keep persevering.
