Re: Rollison's weight gain!

[Guest guest]

~ I know! Isn't that awesome. What she did was pulled his

j tube and put a g tube back in! I was not happy. I was so upset

while I was there and swore I would NEVER see her again! What a

dummy! Anyway, she gave us a feeding schedule and kept him there

until he was tolerating her goal. Then, she kept him a little longer

to see waht he would do. He is so good at spitting up. But, she

said that was probably as good as he was going to get. Well, low and

behold, he ended up gaining big time! Even though he was spitting up

two and three times a day.

It was like miraculous. I can't explain why he did so much better al

of a sudden. I think it was a mixture of a few factors. She upped

his calories in the formula too.
