Sorry it took me a bit to get this update to you, I hadn't had a chance to get online. So are you ready for the great part, the weight part!? Cooper weighed 22 pounds (naked weight) which put him in the 50th percentile, you heard me right, 50th! He went from below the 5th a little over 2 months ago, all the way to the 50th. Amazing what a high cal, hypo allergenic formula can do. He said to continue the full dose of the meds and keep attempting to add new foods one at a time. All his blood tests came back negative, but the GI said that means nothing because he has never been exposed to those foods, and we will continue to hold off on the top 8. We will retest for allergies at his next appointment in 6 months. I let the GI listen to the recording of Cooper's breathing from the other night. His words were, "that is quite impressive." He asked when we see the pulmo and I told him he had been released unless we needed him. He said he would call Dr. Hadeed(pulmo), and see if we needed to go see him. I also discussed the tonsils with him and he said he did not believe it was soley the reflux, but after seeing Cooper gaging and choking on some rice chex he advised we consult with ENT, so we will discuss that with the pedi soon. All in all it was a great visit, by far the best we have ever had.
