Hi All,

sorry have been out of touch, had a few probblem with the internet.

Anyway i wanted to let all know that Patrick is back in hospital again after been out of since may 08.

This time Patrick has an ear infection and on drip feed all weekend. They have gone back to Same probblems as before with his weight but they have been told that we already know that but we want answers to why he is not putting on weight. Patrick eats heaps of food thou, lots of bottles but not putting on the weight as to what they discribe as being "so" called Normal Babies do. Its like one week he puts on weight but the next week may lose some weight.

With the ear infection they have not started him on antibiotics yet, which seems to be very concering to me at the moment.

I hope he will be home soon,

Keep informed,

What kind of formula do they ahve him on throught the tube....JMHO here but why dont' they try to bump the clas in his current diet before getting in the tube...as someone who has tube fed for well over 2 years, it makes NO sense if the child is wiliing to eat orally to put in a feeding tube. Feeding tubes are for critically ill chidlren who will NOT eat anything, like my son.

There are lot of stuff you can do to boost oral calories. We have added heavy whipping crea, butter, there are loads more like olive and falx seed oil.

Just let me know if you have any other questions. I will try to help.
