Amy-Re: personal experience w/ vest

[Guest guest]

31 lbs!! Wow! What are you feeding him? We struggle to keep him at

27 lbs now. He has had a lot of intestinal problems lately. Tons of

thick mucus in his stomach which made him throw up about half his

feedings over the past month. Icky. Finally got it fixed with the

use of Miralax.

Glad you enjoy the website. We never know how many people look at

it. We try to keep it updated as best we can.

btw--Ashton LOVES the Wiggles too. I am so tired of Captain

Feathersword!
