I was supposed to update this last night - my apologies for the tardiness of the post.
Toby has been admitted to the hospital. The nurses have valiantly attempted to give him his high caloric meals in a bottle, but he stubbornly refuses to accept a bottle. Because of this, all of his feedings at this time are being gavaged. From what I understand, there are a couple of reasons for why Toby may not be gaining weight as he should. 1) He is simply not getting enough calories. 2) He is not processing the calories correctly. 3) The reflux is causing him to eject too many of the calories.
Hopefully, we will soon know what the issue is and be able to take steps to fix it.
A Brief Introduction
This blog follows the life of one Tobias, who was born in the 25th week of pregnancy. Despite his minuscule size, Toby has already amassed a great number of people who care about him, his health, and his family. It is our hope that this blog will keep those caring people updated on all the particulars and praises.
There are two main contributors:
Nancy - is Tobias' mother. It is she who actually knows what is going on, and thus will make most of the updates.
Kathryn (ymryson) - Toby's sister, mostly here for technical backup, though she tends to chime in from time to time.
Thank you all for your love and support. We truly appreciate the care and concern you have shared with us during this time.
