Not the best picture but the quickest, since I got it off of my phone.Kyle is all the way up to 11 lbs 15 oz!!!!! By tonight I'm sure he will have surpassed the ever elusive 12 lb mark. Granted, he is still incredibly small, he needs to be at 13 1/2 lbs to be at the bottom of the DS charts but this is the most progress he has made ever! I'm now feeling confident that he might actually catch back up to where he was.
He had his GI Specialist visit yesterday. They put him on medication to help his acid reflux and medication to help regulate his digestion. They also ordered a product called "DuoCal" which is a 40 kcal, tasteless supplement that can be added to anything he drinks or eats. They want me to add it in to my already super fortified baby food concoctions. We will also be going in for an upper GI tract study where they will make sure there is no anatomical problems with his digestive tract that is making it difficult for him to digest food and gain weight.

I hope that he starts to gain weight and that if there is a problem with his digestion that is gets resolved quickly. Is he having any problems with the formula added into his food? I was thinking it may cause constipation.
He was on straight formula for a couple of days in the hospital while I was getting my supply built up and he had no problems with constipation while on it straight, it actually gave him explosive poop :)
Wonderful! Way to go, Kyle!
Oh, and I can testify to the veracity of the "explosive poop" comment! After 4 children and more than 2 dozen grandchildren, that was the most explosive poop in history!!! I know, I was there! Love, Grandma Diane
