Update on The Littlest Apple: GI Checkup

I promised to share an update on how The Littlest Apple’s GI appointment went last Friday, and I’ve already been getting questions. Sorry to leave you hanging!

I had a long post started, sharing all of the nitty gritty details and a few little rants, but I think I’ll save that for another time (and also because I’m trying not to worry too much right now).

The bottom line is that The Littlest Apple is going for another gastric emptying study next week, and we’ve got a couple more months to get The Littlest Apple to gain weight or he’s getting a feeding tube. And this time they REALLY mean it.

His current measurements:

Height: 33 inches (no change)

Weight: 21 pounds, 8 oz (a gain of a couple of ounces since November)
