Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hi all- Well it has been a rough day here at the Garza homestead. ECI came out today and Isaac has only gained 4 oz in a month..he should have gained a pound. I had to really fight the tears when she told me that.. Good news is that we suspected Isaac had reflux and so I called his doc today and he called in a rx for Zantac..I gave him his first dose tonight so hopefully that will help. She did mention g-tube and eventhough that has been a major worry I have finally decided to " let go " and cross that bridge when it comes. My husband made a really great point...we should be thankful that there is such a thing to help our children grow..at least there is something! Counting the days to convention! Mimi (mom to Isaac..sweet baby boy who makes his mommy worry too much P.S.- Alison ..I think I might have accidentally e-mailed you a post intended for the listserve..sorry about that!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Mimi, I know exactly how you are feeling. Despite the fact that has had some sort of tube from the time he was born to present, I am and was very concerned with his weight. Even though he had a tube, there were times when he flat out lost weight. He is doing a lot better now, because Dr. Harbison figured out what he needed to get him growing. Now, she says he is CHUBBY! After all our struggles. It is hard to bear, but keep your spirits up. He will do better. And, if he does need a g tube, don't despair too much. Just know that it will help him get the calories he needs to gain the weight. I hope the Zantac helps him!
