Pictures!

Quentin's weight checkup last Friday went well. He gained more weight and is now on the charts at the 3rd percentile. Way to go Q!

Failure to Thrive

Quentin had his weight checkup this morning which went sort of well...He gained 10.5 oz in 10 days which was great, but unfortunatly he is still below the 3rd percentile for weight so they still consider him as failure to thrive. So we need to take him to have blood drawn and they are going to test several things (I don't recall all of them): his thyroid levels and iron levels and a couple more things. Hopefully things will go well with this and we can get him back on track soon! He has another weight checkup next Friday that I hope goes well.

15 Month Checkup

So Q had his 15 month checkup this past Wednesday...and while he is doing well, the doc is concerned about his weight. He lost weight again (and I don't know, but think it might be due to the diarrhea he has been having this week). He is now 19 lbs 1.2 oz which is in the less than 3% for his age. So of course the doc is throwing out terms of "failure to thrive" being a possiblity and is having us wright down how much he eats and drinks. So naturally Q is being stubborn this week and not eating quite as well as he usually does, but he has done much better today. I have to take him back this coming Friday for a follow up. Keep your fingers crossed that he'll have gained some weight by then!
