New Feeding Plan
Well, I don't feel like the plan that GI posed today makes much sense but we will give anything a try. It seems like Simon's worst feed of the day is his first feed at 6am. They proposed that he is having a surge of hormones that early and it makes him nauseaus. They recommend that we skip that first feed and move it to the end. So instead of starting at 6am and ending at 9pm, we will start at 9am and end at 12am. This means one more time getting up in the night but if it helps him gain weight, I will give it a whirl. He has lost weight again so it's very important that we figure something out. Our goal is to help him gain weight without having him hooked up to his feeding tube all the time. We want him to maintain bolus feeds so that he has times off the pump to continue to work on his development in other areas, such as mobility. I don't think this plan will work but let's give it a shot. :)
