GI Follow Up

Conway had a follow-up appt. with Dr. Brady yesterday and his weight is right on the curve where it should be. She's happy about that! I shared with her the screening results and she was also thrilled. I asked about "The Feeding Team" at Cardinal Glennon which is composed of a psychologist, dietician and OT and she said that for his age, she recommends we see a speech path at Children's that she's worked with in the past. So, we're waiting to hear back on what that might entail. The best news (for me anyway) was that we are going to start slowly introducing him to Peptamin Jr. formula and weaning off the breastmilk. That means there is an end in sight to the pumping! We'll start with his overnight feeding making it 1/4 Peptamin and 3/4 breastmilk and if he tolerates it, go with 1/2 and 1/2 for a while and keep bumping up the peptamin and decreasing the breastmilk. Our OT said that we also might see him "hungrier" or more willing to eat foods once he is all the way on Peptamin because Dr. Brady has orders for him to get 32 oz. per day (it is higher calories than breastmilk so he'll get less volume) whereas now he's getting around 37 oz/day. I also asked about weaning off the prevacid and reglan and she said that once he is eating food and we can pull the tube we will wean him off the meds. So, no time soon! He had OT today and since he did better than expected, we've upped his "homework" assignments. He now has to take 6 ML of babyfood 3X/day and continue offering the milk in a cup or peptamin JR in a cup. Sorry for all the details, just wanted to give you an idea of what he's doing these days! We go back to see her in mid-June.
