Re: should I be concerned - weight loss? - JANE

[Guest guest]

Hi Jane,

I remember that age with , and I think we experienced a lot of ups

and downs too. I wouldn't be too concerned unless she kept up the downward

trend. Like you said, she's more active, and has been outside running around

burning calories.

Could it be that she's eating less often because you're outside?? I know

that when we're trapped inside during the winter, we snack much more often.

( Much to the dismay of my waistline!!) When we're busy outside, away from

the kitchen, during the summer, we don't think about eating as often! Good

thing for me, but not necessarily for our kids! LOL

When was the last time her Periactin dose was checked?? Could it need to be

increased??? We aren't able to use Periactin as is 100% g-tube fed,

but I know that dosage adjustments aren't uncommon.

Hope this helps!

Hugs for you both!
