Weight Check

Toby's weight check this week showed no loss and no gain. We have increased his g-tube feedings back up to their original level to try to re-establish a pattern of weight gain and a solid place to start from again. He continues to nibble at some solids and to add a few new foods to his diet.

His lungs are doing well now that he is back on the diuretics. And the last couple nights have seen better numbers on the sat monitor than any in the last couple months. It is encouraging to make progress in sorting that out. I do have some questions for the pulmonologist but am unsure when his next appointment will be scheduled.

Toby is also continuing to get stronger. He can now get up on his hands and knees quite well for brief periods as well as pull himself up on the side of the crib. And he is quite happy to perform for applause. When he does something he considers noteworthy, he claps to cue us. And, I admit, we do our part with cheers. But our hearts continue to sing with gratitude to God.
