Weight

We took Tripp back to the pediatrician today for his 3rd check up since weve been home.  The first one was on June 2nd which everything was okay and he had gained a little weight since he was discharged from the hospital the day before, 12 lbs 2 oz.  The next visit was the following Wed June 6th.  At this appointment he had lost 1 oz, 12 lbs 1 oz. Today he had only gained 1 oz since last week 12 lbs 2 oz. He has dropped down to the 55th percentile in his weight, but is 24 in long which is in the 102nd percentile in his height.  Since he is not gaining weight along with his height we are going to start him on a higher concentrated formula so that he is getting the same amount of volume but getting more calories, hopefully this helps him gain the weight that he needs to gain.  Tomorrow we are traveling back to Wake Forest for a check up appointment with his pediatric general surgeon who did his gtube.
