We had our GI appointment this week to address the leaking g-tube issue. It looks like a new g-tube button swap is due and we might have to slip some gauze in between the tube button and Kali's belly to keep the tension tighter.
At our visit we found out that Kalista is off the growth chart....but not in the proper direction. Somehow between the last time we were weighed and now, she lost a little over a pound in body weight. It is probably a combination of her new found skill of walking plus the leaking from her g-tube that made her drop off the growth curve. Poor little thing weighs in a bit under 16 pounds now.
The remedy.....super soluble Duocal...essentially weight gaining powder. We have been instructed to buff up her calories by 100 everyday until we have our nutrition appointment mid-July. We hope that will throw Kali back on the growth curve and plump up those skinny arms.
