Feeding Update Friday: Week Four

It's been a great week for us. Monday we went to the Children's Institute for a follow up appointment.  They gave us an A+ for the month (which was a shock for me), and gave us some tips for the next month.  He did lose a little weight, and is back down to 22.5 pounds, but they gave me some ideas how I can calorie boost the things that he is eating orally.  

Greyson has been fighting a small cold, and we were nervous that it would slide back his progress.  In fact, the complete opposite has happened and he's doing wonderfully!  His poor behaviors are very few and far between, and we seem to have gotten our groove back.  Let's hope we can continue to be on the same page!

Foods that G has eaten this week:

Chocolate pudding

Strawberry banana yogurt

Vanilla yogurt

Plain yogurt with honey

Penguins

Pizza

Chicken noodle soup and butter

Goldfish Grahams

Milk

Juice

Total Intakes:

Friday: 3 ounces

Saturday:  4 ounces and 2 penguins

Sunday:  unknown (we were traveling and forgot to write totals down! Woops.)

Monday: 6 ounces

Tuesday: 7 ounces and 1 penguin

Wednesday:  7.5 ounces, 1 cheez-it, and 3 Graham's

Thursday:  8.5 ounces and a few bites of pizza (our golden day!)

A Weekend Break: The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh

Shane got here for his weekend visit Friday evening.  Greyson was so excited to see his daddy, and smiled all evening.  Saturday morning we took our time relaxing a bit, and made our way to the Children's Museum.  (Once again, the Ronald McDonald House does such amazing things.  They have tickets to several attractions in Pittsburgh for families to enjoy while they stay, so our trip to the museum was free!). Greyson had a blast, and if you are ever in Pittsburgh, I highly recommend visiting the Children's Museum!  Here's a photo journal of our day:

Functional Feeding Program Begins!

We arrived in Pittsburgh around 2:30 pm on Sunday, got checked into the Ronald McDonald House, and spent almost 2 hours trekking to and from the car (in a parking garage) with all of our belongings.    We made a quick trip to the grocery store to buy some cold items that we couldn't transport.  By dinnertime, I was exhausted, and G was fired up and ready to run around.
