This week was pretty low key. The overnight feedings are going really well. No major spills. As for the daytime eating by mouth. Well I can't say he is eating more per setting but he is eating more times a day than he was. The variety is still the same chips, pudding, yogurt, crackers and tiny sips of chocolate milk. He will get a appetite enhancer during week 10 of the study. We are hoping this will make him wanna eat more and try some new things.
The study: When we arrived the nurse took his height, weight, blood pressure, EKG, and blood work. After this was all done the doctor arrived and prescribed a larger dose of the study medication. And that was it. The next three weeks we speak with the dietitian over the phone from home. Yipeee we get a little break. It can be a bit much going to Kansas City twice in one day.
