Update

It has been 9 months of dealing with weight issues. Wow. I could have had another baby by now. Ummmm, no thank you.
Anyways - we went to the doctor today and Riley weighed in at 17 pounds, 4 oz, which is a 3 oz weight LOSS. Our doc is on vacation so we met with the nutritionist and she basically just discussed the different feeding tube options for us at this point. We see her doc on Monday to confirm her check in at Hotel Hospital for a feeding tube. We do not know what type of tube the doctor will reccommend, but I guess it is time to get some weight on this girl. We have exhausted all other paths and every test has basically come back normal. I think this is our only, and best choice right now. It is a bit scary, but mostly I am hopeful that this is a step in the right direction of getting Riley healthy.
