Quentin had another weight checkup this past week. Things went really well; he had gained almost 1 lb in the 4 weeks since our previous check. He is now 21 lbs. 12.2 oz. The best part is that he is no longer below the 3%! He made it back onto the charts and is in the 3%-5% for his age! I'm so happy about that, you can't even imagine! (Well, I'm sure Julie could)
We also had his iron and hemoglobin levels rechecked to see if there was any improvement. His iron is up, but the hemoglobin was down a little bit. The doc is wanting us to continue giving him Fer-in-sol (iron) and Poly-vi-sol with iron (vitamin suppliment with iron) plus give him iron fortified cereal at least once a day, but twice would be better.
In other news, the doc talked with the people we met with the other month down in Ottumwa at the Health Clinic. We still haven't heard back from the nutritionist, but I guess they've been restructuring and will be getting back to us soon. Hopefully we will be talking with them again in Sept. and finally get our feedback. I'm sure they will be pleased to know that Q now is really only interested in eating fruit (berries preferred), broccoli, cheese, cheerios, bread, pasta, and rice. And that's about it. Mealtimes are quite difficult needless to say.
Overall though things seem to be looking up. I just hope they continue!
