Well after many weeks of slow weight gain, Gabrielle lost weight this week. She was 14 lbs 6.5 oz yesterday. Maybe the doctors will start listening now. Every doctor we see says she is gaining weight so she is doing okay. The last few days have been really bad. She has not been sucking on the bottle at all. She has also been vomiting at least once per day. The vomiting is an entire bottle at time. All day since Wednesday she has been gagging and trying to make herself vomit. It is so frustrating. Otherwise she seems well and is playing with her toys and has completely perfected sitting independently. She loves to sit and pull all of her toys out of the basket.
We did try to give her a new formula, alimentum at the GI doctors suggestion. She would only drink 2 oz at a time and that is when this gagging started. It smelled horrible so I can understand why she did not like it. We abandoned it after one day. On Wednesday we go to CHOP to their feeding clinic. Hopefully they will have some help for us. I am afraid if we keep going like this she is going to get a feeding tube.
