Aaron had his appointment with his nutritionist Ahna on Thursday. The good news is that he's an inch taller. The bad news is that his weight hasn't changed a bit. We've been giving him milk fortified with powdered milk and giving him as many high calorie foods as possible, but he just doesn't eat enough food to get the necessary calories. I'm wondering if texture is more of an issue than we realized - for instance, he won't eat broccoli with cheese sauce even though he loves broccoli, and this morning was really unhappy with pancakes and syprup. He ended up eating a banana with a fork, and a bit or two of pancakes.
The intervention Ahna is adding this month is a powder to add to all of his liquids and soft foods that has 44 calories per tablespoon and no taste or texture. We'll give it to Luke and Aaron. The downside of this? We order it online, and a case of 4 cans are $89.00. Hope it works.
