Recent Dr's appt....3/27/09

Kaiden had a visit with his nutritionist this morning. Previously the Dr's had him on a 24 calorie formula which is basically just mixing it differently, to give him more calories to help him gain weight. Well, his appt today showed he really isnt gaining much, not quick enough anyway. So the nutritionist upped the calories to 27. She said that if he isnt up to 7lbs by wednesday(his next appt at CHOP to have an Echo done fo the heart) that he will most likely be re-admitted and have the feeding tube put back in to help him gain the weight. We're hoping and praying that he starts eating more for us and gains the weight he needs to, We would hate to have to put him back in the hospital for a feeding tube :( We are keeping our fingers crossed that he does well over the next several days. Other than that he has been doing well. Anthony and I have had a few sleepless nights, with kaiden being very fussy but overall he's been well. he is still on the oxygen and maybe we might know something more of how long he may need to be on that after he gets his echo on wednesday. i would sure love to get back to work, and have him there with me..not sure how that would all work out with him on oxygen but we'll take it day by day. he sure has done alot this far, so who knows what hes got up his sleeve! :) Almost time to try to get him to take another bottle.... hope everyone is doing well....Maureen - give all my little lovies hugs for me, and hopefully we'll be in sometime to visit i miss you guys!!

Love Nicole Anthony & Kaiden
