Gabrielle finally had a good test result today. She was able to get her hearing screen today. They sedated her for the one hour test and she came out smiling. Her hearing is 100% normal in both ears. Marcus and I were not really worried about it because she responds well to sounds, but it is nice to have the test to confirm it. She is still a bit sleepy from the medication, but hopefully it will wear off soon.
As for her eating, she still refuses to eat while she is awake. I am waiting for the doctor to email me back. They are likely going to start her on a medication that decreases the amount of time food is in her stomach. It is getting more difficult to feed her while she is sleeping. Brie is difficult to get to sleep and now she just stops sucking on the bottle. She did not gain anything this week she is still 13 lbs 2.5 oz. We added the fortifier back to her milk. We were trying a lactose free formula, but she really disliked the taste. We do see the local GI doctor on Friday. I really hope we get this straightened out soon. I hate that the reason she refuses to eat is because she is in pain. I feel so helpless.

Glad to hear her hearing test turned out ok. Have you tried Enfamil Nutramigen for formula? It's hypoallergenic and it's the only thing that worked for Hope. It's VERY expensive though.
