Upswing

Well, all the testing came back normal. It turns out that the swallow study they did was not the one that the GI doctor wanted, so I think they are scheduling us for that again. But Allison seems to be eating better and had really great weight gain last week. Hopefully it was just a fluke month and she will get right back on track with growing. Her therapist has given us exercises to work on too to keep Alli on track with meeting her physical milestones. She was getting behind, but the therapist said she is seeing tons of improvement since we started the workouts. So all in all, it looks like we are back on the upswing with things! We visit the pediatrician again on the 9th. Hopefully Alli's good weight gain will continue and there will be nothing more to discuss :)

Failure to thrive.

Allison has been unable to gain weight since her last exam. The doctors have her scheduled for an upper GI study on Wednesday to check for issues with swallowing, and an Echo on Monday to make sure her heart is doing okay. She had a gastric emptying scan done last week and the results came back normal so her tummy seems to be working properly. We are hoping we get things figured out quickly so we can get this girl eating!
