And The UPS!

Well Gavin had another appointment at Primary Childrens on the 19th. We were pretty nervous about what they would decide to do and about his weight, well he weighed....14lbs 1oz! He gained!!! We are very excited and relieved. Although still pretty underweight he is growing now. The doctor said that he was very concerned about his last weight and now he feeling more positive about his diagnosis, this is good because this diagnosis is one that Gavin will grow out of. However...he is still being watched very very very carefully, there is a small chance that he will stop growing again and will have to have the bowel biopsy but everyday looks more and more positive. He will be reweighed in 2 weeks and seen by Primary again in 1 month. We feel very blessed to have so many family and friends keeping us in their thoughts and prayers and we really appriciate everything. Well the news gets even better, Gavin was on Alimentum which is a great formula but my work gave me some other formula called Enfamil AA. I asked the Gastroenterologist if he could use it and not only can he it is actually going to be BETTER than the Alimentum! We got about 3 months worth of this formula that costs over 30 dollars a can! This month has been much better for everyone, his stomach aches are gone, his poops are normal, he is growing, and now we can give him the absolute BEST formula for his condition. We are really blessed!
