The amazing journey of a brave, fun-loving, creative boy who is enduring and has overcome so much already: failure to thrive, feeding tube dependency, food allergies, silent reflux, pulmonary valvar stenosis, chiari malformation, syringomyelia, retroflexed odontoid, mild bilateral hearing loss, a blood coagulation disorder, and Noonan Syndrome.

Visit to the GI Doc
We're back from our GI appointment and we do not have the go ahead to wean, but the doctor recommended doing less hours on continuous feeds and larger bolus feeds after mealtimes and letting Auggie go 2-3 hours without any food to see if he gets hungry and takes more orally. I'm skeptical that this will be enough to see a big difference but for now we will cut down to 15 hours continuous and see how he does with solids.
