I think of myself as a pretty easy going mom, but the past week has been a bit stressful. If you read my last post you know I've been calling Cameron "Piggy" because he eats constantly. I didn't think much of it until we went for his well check on 5/22. At his doctor's appointment we discovered that he's lost three pounds (12% of his body weight). His growth charts are supposed to increase, or level off, not dip, like Cameron's did. We've since done lots of tests and have another appointment with his doctor Monday morning for a weigh-in and a "where do we go from here" conversation. We are also heading down to the Oakland Kaiser on Wednesday for a Cystic Fibrosis test. We are hoping and praying that it is negative. Apparently having the poops and weight loss is a classic sign of CF. We've asked his doctor many questions like, isn't it okay for him to lose weight since he's crawling and walking now? His answers to these questions are that it's not normal for him to lose that much weight, especially since he's eating constantly. There's something going on with his body that is causing him to not absorb his food. Other than his constant eating he's a happy little guy. Please pray for him and his doctors that we can find a solution to this problem. Our chubby baby is thinning out and his mom and dad are stressing out!
