ACTUAL AGE: 21.25 MONTHS
ADJUSTED AGE: 17.25 MONTHS
Truman had a weight check yesterday. He now weighs 17 lbs, 10.8 ounces--up from 17 lbs, 5 ounces six weeks ago. However, his growth rate has dropped down to 3 grams a day. His pedi admitted to being "out of ideas" with regard to Truman's eating, growth, and vomiting. He prescribed an appetite stimulant, and if Truman's weight doesn't improve signficantly in the next four weeks, he will be referred to a GI specialist at Children's Hospital for tests and further discussions.
In good news, I've been working on teaching Truman his body parts during his bath for the last few weeks. Last night, he was able to correctly identify his head when asked! Also, over the last five days or so, Truman seems to be really progressing in the walking arena. He is taking three or four steps at a time and as of yesterday was taking some steps without being prompted.
