Just a real quick update. Yesterday we had a feeding eval, saw a gastro specialist and met with a nutritionist. The plan that we came out with is to switch formulas to something synthetic that is considered pre-digested. It also doesnt have milk proteins which Levi doesnt seem to digest well. We also are adding a new medicine that will hopefully speed up his digestion which should help add time where he has an empty enough stomach to play more. We also are now getting a referral for a speech therapist to start working specifically on a medically based approach to feeding which will hopefully start getting him back to eating baby food and eventually solids. We are optimistic that this will help but it may take a while to see if that is so. At least its new things to try because clearly what we were doing wasnt working. We also are scheduling a GI study here at New Hanover. We are possibly headed towards an endoscopy which would require sedation on possibly on over night stay in the hospital if these solutions dont help. Surgery was part of the discussion if the things we are trying now dont work we will have to consider it down the road. Thanks for your prayers. I will try and post a report back once we give this time to work itself out.
Trent, Anjie and Levi
