Well for those of you who didn't know, Austin has been through a battery of (unnecessary) tests because he was severely underweight. They did several blood tests and weight checks and tested for Celiac Disease, his THS levels. AND afterall was said and done, the tests came back NEGATIVE! We waited for weeks on his celiac test (allergy to wheat) and are so incredibly grateful that are beautiful baby boy is fine and just a little small. He is still working with a nutritionist and speech therapist every two weeks at home and the nutritionist and Pediatric GI specialist every three months at the hospital. But, as of yesterday he is officially in the 0.83% for his weight category. He has gained a pound a month since we started this all three monthes ago, and that is fantastic. It just takes lots and lots of fatty foods that unfortunately we cannot eat! But all is well with the rest of us and that is all one can ask for and be grateful for.
