Weight Gain Struggles

December 4th -

Today Declan had an apt with GI. He goes to CCMC every three months to follow up with the GI doctor and the nutritionist there. FINALLY Declan is starting to gain weight again. He had been the same weight for almost a year. He’s past the 20 lb mark!!! And yes that is very small for his age but it’s progress!! Children with g tubes often have issues with gaining weight for a variety of reasons, sometimes due to issues keeping their food down, sometimes due to their underlying medical condition. Whatever the reason for Declan’s slow weight gain, he’s getting back on track. And let’s be honest these cheeks of our little chubbs as we affectionately call him have always been pinchable (throw back pic to when he had a little more chunk to him) 🥰
