Kyle's Test Results are in...
And it's good news, he tested negative to both the thyroid panel and the Celiac Disease panel! Two long-term problems I do not need to worry about any more... phew! Now we still need to figure out why it is so difficult for him to gain weight and why he has such an intolerance to oats. We should be getting his referral to a GI specialist this week and they will help us with these questions. We have had some success this week with fortifying the baby food he eats by mixing it with my milk instead of water, and adding a scoop of dry formula to up the calorie intake and he finally surpassed his hospital discharge weight! His long sleeves are also getting to be too short on his arms so either everything is suddenly shrinking in the wash or he is slowly getting bigger! We might even need to eventually pull out his nice winter wardrobe of 3-6 month size clothes :)... you know, since I bought them in anticipation of a baby needing that size in the winter.

Good news for you guys. Hopefully he will just keep putting on those ounces and pounds. That stinks about the clothes and you having all winter wear. Do you need items I have the boy's all packed away. Let me know.
