Keegan went for his 9 month check up last week and he is doing good. He weighed 17lbs. 8oz., which we are very happy with...still gaining weight very nicely. We also saw the GI doctor last week and have decided to move ahead with the G tube (the feeding tube directly into his stomach). At this point it is apparent that is will probably be quite some time before he will be taking all his nutrition by mouth, so we think it will be so much better for him not to have the tube up his nose and down his throat. At this point he will taste pretty much all foods, but really has no desire to actually eat or to drink his bottle. We are hoping/praying that some of this is due to the NG tube and that things will start to improve once it is gone. We meet with the surgeon on Tuesday so we will know more then. We will be continuing with feeding therapy and we have also started physical therapy to get him doing all the things he "should" be doing at this point. He is doing really good with physical therapy and making great progress. He is just so much fun these days!!
