GI yesterday. Although J has lost about a half pound, he's at 93% of ideal body weight and his BMI is 15%. So, yay! He's a little over 26 lbs and 3' 11" tall. They are pleased with his height to weight proportion. ETA: WHOA, back up the bus...he's 2'11, darn metric conversions (yeah, yeah, that's it).
They have increased his calories per oz of his Elecare to try to get that weight back on him. I also talked to the BP about potty training and he gave me some stuff to try. Did you know that if you blow out while trying to go to the bathroom, it relaxes your pelvic floor muscles? So, we are going to get some party favors, whistles and bubbles to blow on while sitting on the potty.
The GI dr. doesn't need to see him for another year (this is the longest we've gone between visits) but the rest of the team will see him in June. We do need to take him back over to the hospital to get labs done to make sure he's getting all the nutrients he needs from the formula. They do this yearly.
Object du Jour: All the Potato Head parts. It looks like the poor guy exploded in the living room.
